Bug#382699: Debian patch does not work right with make-kpkg
Package: linux-patch-debian-2.6.16
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: normal
File: /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.16/apply/debian
Hi,
the apply script of the debian patch assumed that '--arch <arch>
--subarch <subarch>' is given as option and depending on that applies
the optional patches. Since make-kpkg does not pass those options on
the commandline when patching the kernel it is impossible to build any
kernel that requires the extra patches from a series, like xen or
vserver.
Please also check for the KPKG_ARCH and KPKG_SUBARCH (and any other
options) that make-kpkg sets and not just the commandline when
deciding what patches to apply.
MfG
Goswin
