Package: linux-patch-debian-2.6.17
Version: 2.6.17-7
Severity: important



Hi,

I'm just an end user, and I was originally downloading
linux-source-<version> packages to compile them "the Debian way" with
make-kpkg.  I decided that it might be nice to save the time downloading
the entire kernel source, and instead just download the Debian patches.
Also, I thought it might be easy to integrate other patches I have with
the same system make-kpkg uses for the "debian" patches.

/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/unpatch is the following script:

    #!/bin/sh
    set -e
    upstream="2.6.17"
    exec "/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/$upstream/apply/debian" \
      "$upstream-0"

But there's no /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.17 directory.

This is easily fixed (at least I think it's fixed) with a symlink from
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.17 -> /usr/src/kernel-patches/all, but
I'm not sure this is really the best way to go about it.  make-kpkg has
a lot of pieces to it, and maybe in the long run this is a bad idea. 

So I was hoping to close this bug you could make this package work out
of the box and maybe install some text file in
/usr/share/doc/linux-patch-debian-2.6.17 if there's something a simple
end user not in the know (like myself) needs to know to get everything
working.

Thanks,
Sukant

Looks like this was first fixed in 2.6.18-1:
dannf@firetheft:/tmp$ dpkg -c linux-patch-debian-2.6.17_2.6.17-9_all.deb | grep /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2\.6\.17/$
dannf@firetheft:/tmp$ dpkg -c linux-patch-debian-2.6.18_2.6.18-1_all.deb | grep /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2\.6\.18/$
