kernel-package rules file patch for UltraSparc

[Steve Dunham <dunham@cse.msu.edu>]

Ok, here is a simple patch to the kernel-package rules file to add
UltraSparc support:

--- /usr/lib/kernel-package/rules.bak	Tue Mar 30 12:50:20 1999
+++ /usr/lib/kernel-package/rules	Tue Mar 30 12:55:24 1999

 DEBCONFIG = $(CONFDIR)/config.sparc
+ifeq ($(SUBARCH),sun4u)
+KERNEL_ARCH=sparc64
+endif
 endif
 
 


After applying the patch, you can do:

  fakeroot /usr/sbin/make-kpkg --subarch=sun4u --arch_in_name binary-arch

to generate UltraSparc kernel packages.  (This will work on any sparc,
but you need the "egcs64" package installed.)


Eventually, we should add a check in the "preinst" script to keep
people from installing the "sun4u" packages on 32-bit machines and
vice-versa.
