Re: GCC for kernel compilation

In article <i0Es.Ko.23@gated-at.bofh.it> you write:
>#!/bin/bash

># Make it so make-kpkg patches the source
>PATCH_THE_KERNEL="YES"

The variable PATCH_THE_KERNEL is not used later in the script.  Since
there is no "export", it's not put into the environment (unless
there's a bash option for that and you've set it here via $ENV or some
such).  Therefore, I don't see how this statement can have any effect.

I thought that if I got the kernel-source Debian package (via
apt-get), it was already patched.  Was I wrong?
