Kernel-Package, Kernel-Patches, lots of questions
Hi,
kernel-package supports kernel patches, as I learned short time ago.
But IMO, it lacks the documentation for this.
If i understand correctly:
- patches go into /usr/src/kernel-patches/$arch/$version/apply.
- If "PATCH_THE_KERNEL" is set, patches are automatically applied on
make-kpkg.
But here are some questions:
(1)
How are patches handled that create new config options in the kernel
config? When make-kpkg runs, kernel config usually is already finished
- how am I supposed to activate the new options?
(2)
How can I choose which patches are to be applied? Are all patches
applied without me having a chance to choose?
(3)
Can I see in the created .deb which patches have been applied?
(4)
Can patches be put elsewhere than in /usr/src/kernel-patches?
(5)
Where is the documentation about module-hooks mentioned in
kernel-package(5)?
Greetings
Marc
