I think so so one can run int the root directory ( in this case it is
community-b3-kernel/ directory ) the following command:

make menuconfig

but then I get the menuconfig with the header:

.config - Linux/powerpc 3.2.63 Kernel Configuration

This is not the right kernel source for me, what I want.

If I run the command:
git tag -l

I get:

debian/1%3.2.62-1
upstream/3.2.62
upstream/3.2.63

I think what I want is compiling the debian/1%3.2.62-1 kernel.
In this case what should I do to get the right debian-3.2.62-1 kernel?
