i operate 57 machines each with their own kernel. some machines need
modules, some need patches. i keep a file with the appropriate
bindings. the generated kernel files are named
kernel-image-2.4.19-grsec+freeswan+imqhtb+qos-fishbowl
and it's rather simple to loose the oversight.
Maybe I am not quite clear on the modules and patches thing.
I want to go ahead and produce kernel-image and kernel-headers with
a selection of the installed kernel-patch and *-modules packages.
Say I have kernel-patch-freeswan, kernel-patch-2.4-grsecurity,
kernel-patch-vlan, and kernel-patch-xfs installed on a machine, along
with pcmcia-modules and alsa-modules.
now i want to create three kernel images:
1. one for the machine 'albatros', which needs freeswan, grsecurity,
and XFS. ideally, it should be called something like
kernel-image-2.4.19-grsec+freeswan+xfs-albatros
2. one for the machine 'fishbowl', which needs freeswan, grsecurity,
vlan, and the pcmcia and alsa modules. i want to create
kernel-image-2.4.19-grsec+freeswan+vlan-fishbowl
pcmcia-modules-2.4.19-grsec+freeswan+vlan-fishbowl
alsa-modules-2.4.19-grsec+freeswan+vlan-fishbowl
3. one for the machine 'piper', which needs xfs and vlan, and the
alsa modules:
kernel-image-2.4.19-xfs+vlan-piper
alsa-modules-2.4.19-xfs+vlan-piper
How can I do all this with one unified interface?
