Bug#534866: ITP: kernelcheck -- tool for an automated build of a , kernel from the latest source



KernelCheck is a Python-based GUI that checks kernel.org  and the
Master Kernel thread on the Ubuntu forums
for the latest Linux kernel sources and patches, then installs the

is this somehow related to Debian? Can be used on a debian system in a
productive way?

Sorry - this is the description on the website that is incredibly outdated - dating back 2-3 years ago. This is the official new description:

KernelCheck is a project that is designed to automatically build any
2.6 kernel from the upstream source. KernelCheck can help users fix
hardware problems and improve boot time by customizing the kernel
configuration.

As you can see, KernelCheck allows the user to fix hardware problems because of lack of support in the generic kernel. It can also let users deselect options that they do not need in order to optimize their computer. Maybe the user is running a server and doesn't need all the modules in the server kernel, so they compile a barebones kernel.

That's just my take on it.


Master Kernel
