Hi Ben,
A big thank you for taking care!
Some notes and questions from here and IRC:
[1] Dropped perf-UI support
A wise decision for know.
Yes, I have libgtk2.0-dev installed on my Debian/testing box.
( This mammoth should be a Build-Depends when enabling perf-UI (Have fun!). )
[2] [PATCH] perf: Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files
(sent to upstream)
Thanks for the patch (see [1]).
Is the misbehaviour with "/usr/include/perf.h" provided by
firebird-dev package gone with that patch?
Should firebird-dev rename its "perf.h" to something like
"firebird_perf.h" to avoid such a misbehaviour?
[3] Repacking Linux vanilla source now obsolete
Thanks, this was really appreciated (see [2])!
[ debian/bin/genorig.py (r19335) ]
[CODE]
Line #105: match =
re.match(r'(^|.*/)(?P<dir>linux-\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)?(-\S+)?)\.tar(\.(?P<extension>(bz2|gz)))?$',
input_tar)
[CODE]
It is possible to get xz-tarball support (currently bzip2 or gzip)?
Or to go a step further, what about an xz-compressed linux-tools orig-tarball?
Here from my generated tarball (sizes in KiB):
$ tar -xf linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.gz
$ tar -c --xz -f linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.xz linux-tools-3.5/
$ du -k *.orig*
9280 linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.gz
6316 linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.xz
Approx. 3MiB should be a good reason :-)?
Note: The default compression-level of xz is "-6" and "-9" is maximum
(see man xz).
[4] Debian-Kernel Wiki
There is a different handling of linux-2.6/linux-kbuild-2.6 VS.
linux/linux-tools.
Hector (zumbi) pointed to this already in [3].
Dunno, might be worth to write a separate Email on this topic?
( Just fell over this when people asked me for integration of my
Mini-Howto, see [4]. )
Kind Regards,
