Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.24-5 Severity: wishlist I wanted to apply a patch to the kernel yesterday, and after running into problems with make-kpkg, I found http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage and adopted the method. I even rewrote most of the wiki page to make sure it applies. Comments welcome, of course. My problem now is that the single kernel variant instructions only yield 8 packages: linux-image-2.6.24-1+foo.1-686_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.24-1+foo.1-686_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-support-2.6.24-1+foo.1-686_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-tree-2.6.24_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-patch-debian-2.6.24_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-source-2.6.24_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-manual-2.6.24_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb linux-doc-2.6.24_2.6.24-5+foo.1_i386.deb Unfortunately, linux-headers-2.6.24-1+foo.1-686 depends on linux-headers-2.6.24-1+foo.1-common, but that is not being created until I build binary-arch_i386, which takes infinitely longer. Shouldn't the binary-arch_i386_none_686 target build the common headers too, since its result depends on them? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1+scoflowctrl.1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
