--append-to-version is good if you want to run several slightly tweaked
versions
of the same kernel. This lets you install them all without having name
conflicts.
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-something --revision=some-rev
kernel_image
yields a .deb called (for a 2.6.0-test1 kernel):
kernel-image-2.6.0-test1-something_some-rev_i386.deb
It will also place your modules in /lib/modules/2.6.0-test1-something
I actually have two 2.6.0-test1 kernels installed on my machine:
2.6.0-test1-alsa (--append-to-version=-alsa)
2.6.0-test1-oss (--append-to-version=-oss)
Obviously, one uses the old OSS sound drivers and the other uses the new ALSA
drivers. I use the revision field to put the compile date in there. BTW,
the revision field only shows up in dpkg (or deselect, aptitude, or other
.deb management tools).
