make-kpkg --revision policy and glibc?
Hello,
after compiling 2.4.26 kernel I'm in trouble upgrading debian/unstable.
glibc complains about kernel subversion > 255. Well, my kernel is:
2.4.261.01.mrh -> due to policy I've read in man make-kpkg, revision
number should not contain any hyphen, special characters (only
alphanumerics + . is allowed).
Well, so I did follow the manual (THEY wrote there, that default is
10.00.Custom):
make-kpkg --revision 1.01.mrh --append_to_version 1.01.mrh kernel_image
It has worked good until now, as with 2.4.26 it gives 261 which is > 255,
so I cannot upgrade libc6/glibc.
What is the _proper_ solution? Yes, I know I can compile with --revision
mrh.1.01, probably it will work, but is there another, "common, advised way"?
greetings,
