Bug#330157: linux-2.6: [hppa] FTBFS -- hppa patch doesn't apply cleanly.

[Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.12-9
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source


Hi all, it seems our 2.6.12-9 upload failed on hppa, the log is at :

  http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=linux-2.6&ver=2.6.12-9&arch=hppa&stamp=1127729724&file=log&as=raw

And the extract of errors is :

  ...
  patching file drivers/serial/serial_core.c
  Hunk #1 succeeded at 1930 (offset 1 line).
  The next patch would create the file drivers/serial/serial_core.c.orig,
  which already exists!  Assume -R? [n] 
  Apply anyway? [n] 
  Skipping patch.
  1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file
  drivers/serial/serial_core.c.orig.rej
  ...
  patching file sound/pci/Makefile
  patching file sound/pci/ad1889.c
  patching file sound/pci/ad1889.h
  make[2]: *** [debian/stamps/source-hppa-none] Error 1
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/linux-2.6-2.6.12'
  make[1]: *** [setup-hppa-none-real] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/linux-2.6-2.6.12'
  make: *** [debian/stamps/setup-stamp] Error 2

So, i guess there is some uncleanliness in the serial_core.c hppa patch, or
maybe someting else. Simon Horman mentioned that part of the hppa patch should
be separated and rejoin the main debian patches instead of keeping such a huge
hppa-specific patch, maybe this would be the best time to do this, or at
least try to get that done for 2.6.13-1.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
