Hi,
I am struggling to build a slightly modified Debian Kernel. I suspect that there must be something trivial that I am doing wrong, so somebody will hopefully be able to point me into the right direction.
My goal: Building kernel 3.16.7 with most Debian patches on Wheezy.
Reason: Include recent aufs changes into kernel but leave everything else in the nice and stable way the official wheezy-backports kernel provides.
What I did:
1. Install necessary dependencies:
# apt-get install fakeroot build-essential devscripts equivs
# apt-get build-dep linux
2. download the official 3.16.7 tarball from kernel.org
# wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.16.7.tar.gz
3. get the patches/configs for the debian kernel package
# mkdir debian-patchset
# cd debian-patchset
# svn export svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/releases/linux/3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1~bpo70%2B1/debian/
4. I tried to follow https://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage and like described in http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/releases/linux/3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1~bpo70%2B1/debian/README.source?view=markup I tried to update the upstream source, which failed:
# debian/bin/genorig.py ../linux-3.16.7.tar.gz
Using source name linux, version 3.16.7-ckt9, dfsg 0

Generate tarball ../orig/linux_3.16.7-ckt9.orig.tar.xz
genorig works, however the unpacking fails because patches could not be applied:
# make -f debian/rules orig
mkdir -p ../orig
tar -C ../orig -xaf ../linux_3.16.7-ckt9.orig.tar.xz
rsync --delete --exclude /debian --exclude .svk --exclude .svn --exclude .git --link-dest=../orig/linux-3.16.7-ckt9/ -a ../orig/linux-3.16.7-ckt9/ .

Can anyone give me a hint on what I am doing wrong? What do I have to do to to have a debian-patched kernel source tree so I can disable all aufs patches with quilt and add the current upstream aufs from http://sourceforge.net/p/aufs/aufs3-standalone/ci/aufs3.16/tree/?Attachment:
