Re: Where is make-kpkg?

Hi Martin --
You asked:
> Do I still need make-kpkg for generating a kernel package?  
Well, not absolutely, but it sure is a handy tool.

> If so, where can I find it?
It's in Debian-1.2/binary-all/misc/kernel-package_3.03.deb

You can find out which debian archive file ('.deb' file) contains a certain
command or file by executing
    zgrep filename Contents.gz

This operates on the file "Contents.gz" which is at the top of the directory
/rex, /Debian-1.2, or /bo.  For example,

    zgrep make-kpkg Debian-1.2/Contents.gz 
yields:
usr/man/man8/make-kpkg.8.gz                                  kernel-package
usr/sbin/make-kpkg                                           kernel-package

This says that two files containing the string "make-kpkg" in their
full path names are located somewhere in the Debian-1.2 directory tree,
in the .deb archive file called "kernel-package_*.deb".
One can then use 'find' to find out which directory contains 
"kernel-package_*.deb", e.g.,
    find rex -name "kernel-package*"
yields
rex/binary-all/misc/kernel-package_3.03.deb
rex/binary-i386/misc/kernel-package_3.03.deb

HTH,
