make-kpkg doesn't make different kernel source revs.
Hello
Why is that when I build a new kernel via make-kpkg, it doesn't make a
new kernel rev.
Scenario:
Previously, I built a new kernel using:
make-kpkg --rev Custom.1.0 kernel_image
This command built my kernel and put an file in my /usr/src
directory called. kernel-image-2.0.36_1.00_i386.deb.
Then I built a newer kernel using:
make-kpkg --rev Custom.2.0 kernel_image
This command did change the date on the existing kernel package
but did not call it kernel-image-2.0.36_2.00_i386.deb nor did it
put the word custom in file name either.
Is this the way this thing is supposed to work?
Other simple questions:
1. When I used to do regular kernel builds, I used to do a
make dep; make clean; make zImage, make modules; make
modules_install.
If I build kernels the debian way (aka make-kpkg), do I still need to
do this? How about cleaning or rebuilding the dependicy list? ie. do I
need to a make clean; make dep before I do the make-kpkg?
2. Does apt-get dist-upgrade get new kernel patches? Is there a way to
get new kernel patches?
