I really do think it was doing more harm than good. closes: Bug#150497, Bug#144207 * Added a new sample postint hook script, that shows how local admins can enhance the symlinks policy to better suit their needs. This sample script implements the wishlist items requested by multiple people. I do not think that these should become the mainstream model; since the numbers of kernels linked to, the numbers of streams (2.4, 2.5, -selinux, etc) depend so much on the local install.

Adding the -nc options to the commandline for dpkg-buildpackage would prevent it from calling 'debian/rules clean' before it calls 'debian/rules binary'.

Make the modules tarhet depend on stamp-image, so make knows not to try and build the modules packages is the kernel-image build fails.

There was a bug report that said kernel-package does not call make correctly when concurrency is set; however, this happens to be a mischaracterization. The top level make call a recursive make: $(MAKE) -j2; the level 2 make then calls another sub make, and the level 3 make spits out the error that it is running with -j1, as documneted.

The examples and the run time help were correct, which may explain why no one pointed this error out before. closes: Bug#82939, Bug#82943 * We now check and dissallow all hyphens in revision string. The software and the documentation was inconsistent as to the format of the revision flag: the man page and the command line help insisted that hyphens were not allowed; the README and the software itself would allow hyphens, but no checks were then in place to ensure the resulting version was legal. This caused problems at the tail end of a fairly expensive kernel compile. I think I am going to standardize on not allowing hyphens, cause then the checks already in place are sufficient, and I think it is reasonable not to have debian revisions for kernel-image-X.X.XX packages (in a way, these packages are really Debian only). So, now you may no longer sneak in a hyphen and thus debian revisions into the ekrnel-image versions (and thus it shall remain unless there is a public outcry). closes: Bug#82034 * Added more verbose messages when we f;ag a revison as violating the all lowercase requirements of Debian policy; you see, the FLavour and extrav_version variables become part of the kernel-image package name (the name is kernel-image-VERSION-FLAVOUR, where VERSION also contains the EXTRA_VERSION var).

This used to be the old behaviour, but did not work right for people who had the symbolic links created in non standard locations. This version should work better for most people. closes: Bug#64949, Bug# 65116 * Added to the information message that make-kpkg provides that the --revision option also has no effect ewhen making modules; the values that were used when the last kernel_image were made are sued (which is what one wants anyway). closes: Bug#65212 * Updated the README about the gcc/kernel issues (which are now mostly solved), made the footnote appear more like one, and stuff. closes: Bug#65386 * Make sure we remove modules.dep when the kernel-image package is removed, so that we do not get messages from dpkg saying that /lib/modules/ was not removed because it was not empty. This closes: Bug#66341 * Added a warning in the make floppy routine of the image postinst to warn if the kernel is larger than some hard coded limit. This breakage should really be fixed in the kernel. closes: Bug#66596 * Since it is just a suggestion in the packaging manual, do not force all flavours to be downcased.

Until then, just chalk it up to happenstance. closes: Bug#61606 * Make sure we ignore spaces in the value of the HOSTCC and CC env variables. * Make the source package suggest task-tcltk-dev, rather than tk-dev, since the latter is no longer provided by modern packages (apparently it was not meant to be a publically used virtual package) * Rewrote the preinst to pay attention to the kernel-img.conf. Added a variable called clobber_modules that shall have the preinst move /lib/modules/version dir out of the way silently. (I strongly suggest that this varible not be set unless you know what you are doing). closes: Bug#62745 * Added (courtesey of Peter Moulder) a new option called --config to make-kpkg, which allows you to specify what configure target shallb e used by make-kpkg. Defaults to oldconfig. This was added so you can run your usual config step _after_ the kernel has been patched by make-kpkg. closes: Bug#61503 * Added a new target to make-kpkg, called debian, which essentially creates a ,.debian directory and runs the kernel patch process.

This fix is essential for PowerPC compilations. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 18 Mar 1998 01:14:04 -0600 kernel-package (4.00) unstable; urgency=high * Fix a thinko in lilo run that could be a security hole. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 15 Mar 1998 15:49:30 -0600 kernel-package (3.65) unstable; urgency=low * Rewrote /vmlinuz as symlink handling in image.postinst. This should correctly handle the bug. closes: Bug#19473 -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 11 Mar 1998 14:02:14 -0600 kernel-package (3.64) unstable; urgency=low * Add a make recommendation for kernel source package as well. closes: Bug#19223 * Added a note to the Flavours document to specify a System.map file for klogd in /etc/init.d/syslog -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 10 Mar 1998 16:06:10 -0600 kernel-package (3.63) unstable; urgency=low * Added a recommends to shut up lintian; however, we already depended on packages that depended on make, so this is a no op. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 8 Mar 1998 15:12:28 -0600 kernel-package (3.62) unstable; urgency=low * Mentioned rootcmd and fakeroot in the README. Mention where one need to be root all over too. * Added error message from a machine that need the --zimage option to the Problems file. * Mentioned in the rationale that the kernel image configuration files are kept in /boot for further reference. * Modified README.headers to indicate why kernel-source did not provide the headers required by libc6, but kernel-headers does. * Brought the headers README up to date. * Make the kernel-image suggest SILO on the sparcs rather than LILO. Made a series of changes for sparc architecture machines. Since the patches are hand installed, please test this version carefully * Added documentation for actions take for SILO * Created a special config.sparc for sparc machines * Changed the image prerm to look for and deal with silo as well as lilo installations * Major changes in image.postinst for SILO. * Added loader specific variables, and passed them in to the control file and to the postinst scripts. Added support for config.sparc. Make the unpatch happen before cleaning out the debian directory. Do not remove the debian directory after applying the kernel patch. Make kernel-doc in the binary-indeo area. Let sparcs also have compressed kernels * closes: Bug#18845, Bug:18846 -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 5 Mar 1998 17:08:04 -0600 kernel-package (3.61) unstable; urgency=low * There were bugs in 3.60, which are fixed in this release. Since the changes since pre-3.60 are so drastic, I am including the changelog entry again (as most people shall not see 3.60) * Fixed copyright files for all generated packages. This is one lintian warning less to worry about * This is a major change in the source/header packages. In architectures different from i386, `kernel-headers-*' and `kernel-source-*' are incompatible. This also has an effect on libc6-dev, which depends on kernel-headers-2.0.3x | kernel-source-2.0.3x, which is only true on i386 architectures. One possible solution would be to make libc6-dev depend on kernel-headers-2.0.32, but that won't work because kernel-source provides kernel-headers. In fact, since kernel-headers are arch dependent, but kernel-source is arch: all, kernel-source-* should not provide kernel-header* at all. Once kernel source stops providing kernel-header*, and libc6-dev depends on kernel-headers-2.0.32 and links /usr/include/{linux,asm} to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.32 (nor /usr/src/linux-2.0.32) things would work again in a Multi arch compatible fashion. Hence, now kernel-source-* packages compiled with this kernel-package shall not provide any sort of kernel-headers. For the sake of backwards compatibility, /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks are still being provided (as people may upload newer kernels while keeping an older libc6-dev around, which depends on /usr/src/linux-2.0.32. However, I have been badgered enough about this that I shall remove the /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks at some point. This version no longer registers stuff in /usr/src/.linux-versions, and is no longer as paranoid about /usr/src/linux; but it does not outright remove those files either, so as not to cause people with older kernels having a problem during removal.As soon as it is deemed permissible, we shall get less paranoid about /usr/src/linux-$version as well. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 18 Feb 1998 17:00:06 -0600 kernel-package (3.60) unstable; urgency=low * This is a major change in the source/header packages.

Unlike the FLAVOURS variable, which affects everything it can lay its grubby hands on (kernel image, headers, source, doc package versions, and where the modules are looked for under /lib/modules), this only affects the naming of the kernel-image as the source and doc packages are architecture independent and the kernel-headers do not vary from one sub-architecture to the next. These changes are courtesy of James Troup -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 16 Feb 1998 16:47:08 -0600 kernel-package (3.57) unstable; urgency=low * Mention mawk as a provider of awk in the README/ closes: Bug#18156 -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 13 Feb 1998 13:06:19 -0600 kernel-package (3.56) unstable; urgency=low * Mentioned in the copyright file that the GPL and Artistic licences are available on the file system. * Ensure that the /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/linux- links always exist, no matter what. Apparently, upgrading from kernel-source-2.0.32_2.0.32-1 to kernel-source-2.0.32_2.0.32-3 does not create /usr/src/linux-, which breaks libc6-dev. * Toned down the language about LILO, so as not to startle new sparc users -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 12 Feb 1998 21:56:50 -0600 kernel-package (3.55) unstable; urgency=low * Added ARCH to make called, this allows for cross compiling kernels (added on a request by James Troup ) * Make kernel-headers arch: any, so we can indeed have different headers for different architectures. * m68k can now handle vmlinuz, so reverse that behaviour in the rules file. AFAIK m68k still uses zImage. * Improvements to /usr/doc/kernel-patch/MultiArch.gz, based on suggestions by James Troup / * Upgraded to standards version 2.4.0.0 * Fixed old FSF address in copyright file. * This fixes all known lintian warnings. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 9 Feb 1998 17:34:02 -0600 kernel-package (3.54) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed rootcmd typos in make-kpkg. fixes: Bug#17618 * Re-did the Headers README file * Added a rationale to the LinkPolicy document. So far, it detailed *what* Debian did. Now, it also says *why* we do it. -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 29 Jan 1998 19:13:58 -0600 kernel-package (3.53) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a typo where we tried to dd /vmlinuz-2.0.32 rather than the correct /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 in image.postinst. How come this glaring an error has gone unreported until now? -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 23 Jan 1998 14:36:34 -0600 kernel-package (3.52) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed Typo in kernel rules that put all modules into block (this is more of a thinko/cut and paste error. fixes: Bug#16697,Bug#16702 * No longer a fatal error if there is no /vmlinuz (or equivalent). fixes: Bug#16899 * Added language to the abort on /usr/src/linux not being a link. * Documented the fact that if you re-run make-kpkg with a different revision number, you have to reconfigure the kernel. fixes: Bug#16968 * ignore obsolete fdformat in favour of superformat. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 21 Jan 1998 03:27:35 -0600 kernel-package (3.51) unstable; urgency=low * Changed the kernel rules file not break on the sound modules of 2.1.70+ kernels (I think it is a bug in the kernel Makefile, but this fix make make-kpkg handle the problem and be more robust). -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 25 Dec 1997 01:30:49 -0600 kernel-package (3.50) unstable; urgency=low * Modified image.postinst to also cater to people on whose architecture the image is not called vmlinuz but something else (like vmlinux, for example). closes:Bug#16258 * Fixed two minor doc typos for make-kpkg. closes:Bug#16224 -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 24 Dec 1997 13:07:21 -0600 kernel-package (3.49) unstable; urgency=low * Made the postrms also know about the kernel version, not just the postinst. (Sorry). closes:Bug#15920 * Changed include.postrm to be more careful about removing the symbolic link /usr/src/linux-X.Y.Z. Keep track if there is another package installed that could provide the link. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 13 Dec 1997 23:04:47 -0600 kernel-package (3.48) unstable; urgency=low * Important changes for kernel-source-* and kernel-header-* packages: now kernel-source-* packages also provide the exact kernel-header-* (libc6 need only depend on kernel-header-* now. * The kernel-header-* and kernel-source-* packages now also maintain the /usr/src/linux-X.YY.ZZ links (in addition to the /usr/src/linux links) This is used in the libc6 package. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 13 Dec 1997 12:46:47 -0600 kernel-package (3.47) unstable; urgency=low * Added HAM modules to the module we know about, these were introduced in 2.1.70. * Added configure as a valid target to make-kpkg, so people can make sure that edits to configuration files are not stomped over by make-kpkg (most people can ignore this) -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 9 Dec 1997 23:27:04 -0600 kernel-package (3.46) unstable; urgency=low * Because of new option rootcmd (for sudo and fakeroot and such), one can't just use -r as a shortcut for -revision (since it is now ambiguous). Fixed README to reflect this. closes:Bug#15016 * Added documentation of rootcmd to the help message (make-kpkg -h). This, along with the above, closes:Bug#15078 * Fixed a type in a rules command (negated test). This closes:Bug#15276 * Added documentation about problems with encaps to the problems file. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 1 Dec 1997 13:54:20 -0600 kernel-package (3.45) unstable; urgency=low * Ignore unmounted devices while looking for a root file system. Much thanks to Thomas Kocourek for noticing this. * Added handling for root_cmd in the rules file. This should be set to `sudo' or `fakeroot' and is only used in the target buildpackage (it calls dpkg-buildpackage -r$root_cmd) * Made the rules file notice the env variable ROOT_CMD and over ride the site wide default. * Added a rootcmd option to make-kpkg and have it set the root_cmd variable via ROOT_CMD env variable. * Document all the above. closes:Bug#14539 * Make sure that the copyright file for the kernel-doc package is not compressed. closes:Bug#14403,Bug#14405 * Added internal utility kpkg-vercheck to test the validity of the package version. * Make the kernel rules file abort immediately if the version number is not valid, rather than have the it happen towards the end (after a long compile). closes:Bug#14597 -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 10 Nov 1997 10:37:08 -0600 kernel-package (3.44) unstable; urgency=low * Install the README.headers in the right place for the source package. closes:Bug#14552. * Handle the new NLS_MODULES that have appeared in the newest 2.1.6x kernels. closes:Bug#14527. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 5 Nov 1997 23:30:48 -0600 kernel-package (3.43) unstable; urgency=low * Added README.headers to the kernel-source package as well, since the information _is_ relevant to compiling kernels. Since kernel source packages have higher visibility than kernel header packages, this may help avoid some FAQs from being asked. * Expand on epoch numbers on standard kernel packages. Now the README file actually encourages epochs (horrors). -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 25 Oct 1997 01:59:19 -0500 kernel-package (3.42) unstable; urgency=low * Changed image postinst not to use the obsolete -d option to superformat. Removed extra spaces from the exec option, so that it is more likely to work. Noticed by Joost Kooij as BUG#14022 * Note that the proposed two level versioning scheme fails if standard kernels use epochs. Further note that one may introduce epochs even in custom kernels. This fixes BUG#14067. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 22 Oct 1997 02:47:22 -0500 kernel-package (3.41) unstable; urgency=low * Handle obsolete /System.map and /System.old links left around by older kernel-package packages. All the programs that look at the information in the map files (including top, ps, and klogd) also will look at /boot/System.map-, we just need to ensure that that file is present, and no longer require the symbolic link. Actually, having the symbolic link in / is technically detrimental (apart from cluttering up /); many programs, though looking in /boot, still allow /System.map to override. If you use LILO to choose between multiple kernels, then the /System.map symbolic link only applies to one such kernel, for all other choices the symbols loaded will be wrong. Not having the symbolic links at all prevents this. Therefore, the new image.postinst file shall offer to remove the symbolic links in /. This should fix BUG#13359 -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 26 Sep 1997 10:44:39 -0500 kernel-package (3.40) unstable; urgency=low * Added the proposal for the new multi architecture support. Documented the new variable patch_the_kernel and the ENV override. * Mentioned new behaviour of depmod and friends Re non .o files in /lib/modules in the problems file. -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 18 Sep 1997 00:02:55 -0500 kernel-package (3.39) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed handling of modules.dep in the image.postinst. We do not attempt to recreate a modules.dep, since the man page admits the file so created may be incorrect. We warn the installer that there maybe problems loading modules into the kernel until reboot iff the version being installed is the same as the version currently running. * This fixes BUG#13009. -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 16 Sep 1997 15:07:02 -0500 kernel-package (3.38) unstable; urgency=low * Mentioned other kernel source sites in the copyright file. This fixes BUG#11951. * Install files while preserving the timestamp (use install -p) * This could be considered a release candidate, as long as a fixed dpkg-dev is also provided at the same time. This has been extensively tested on the authors machine, and there have been no bugs reported in nearly a month. -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 29 Aug 1997 12:10:37 -0500 kernel-package (3.37) unstable; urgency=low * No longer create a System.map symlink in /, since that may confuse klogd when choosing kernel images using LILO. Since top, ps, and klogd look at /boot/System.map-, we just need to make sure that file is present. This makes us friendlier to multiple images of the same kernel version. * No longer redirect output to a file in /tmp for security reasons (we use a log file in /var/log instead). This fixes BUG#11765, BUG#11766 and BUG#11847 * Added support for different flavours of the same kernel version for people who need them. This is based on the ideas and work of Bill Mitchell and Noel Maddy . This should make us fully compliant to having multiple flavours of the same kernel version. * Added dependencies to targets in rules. Now things should work as expected if one edits a .config file. * Fixed destination for the Buildinfo file. This fixes BUG#11884. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 4 Aug 1997 13:03:38 -0500 kernel-package (3.36) unstable; urgency=low * All kernel packages produced now list the version of kernel-package used in the file /usr/doc/Buildinfo. This is a bit of a Hack. * The image prerm will allow you to remove an running kernel image and hose your system. You will be warned. (under protest). * Added a variable to choose a no symlink option, which puts the real images in /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, not symlinks (similarly for System.map). This makes it potentially less useful, since unless other action is taken one would have only two images on the machine at the time. This has been added for people who use file systems that do not implement symlinks. * Added a variable to ask for reverse symlinks, that is, vmlinuz is the real file, vmlinuz-2.0.30 is the link. This also restricts the system to two image files unless the user save a copy, added for people with boot on umsdos (can't see symlinks in dos mode) but who want the links to see what the image versions are in Linux. Mutually exclusive with the no symlink option. (apart from the symlinks, it is identical to the no symlink option). These should fix Bug#11395. * Fixed typo in control file for kernel-doc description. This fixes Bug#11568. -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 29 Jul 1997 17:50:51 -0500 kernel-package (3.35) unstable; urgency=low * Preserve owner when copying the config file around. This fixes BUG#11022. * Added final newline in the control file. This fixes BUG#11024. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 6 Jul 1997 22:04:22 -0500 kernel-package (3.34) unstable; urgency=low * Ran spell check on the README file. * Added a missing endif in the rules file -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 25 Jun 1997 02:32:42 -0500 kernel-package (3.33) unstable; urgency=low * No longer carries around an extra uncompressed kernel image, and does not anymore create /boot/psdatabase-X.X.XX. The psdatabase file does not seem to be required anymore. * Removed all references to psdatabase. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 18 Jun 1997 13:13:15 -0500 kernel-package (3.32) unstable; urgency=low * First version to be built with cvs-buildpackage. * Added patches to support m68k from "Frank Neumann" . * Added patched to support sparcs from Eric Delaunay * This fixes Bug#10231. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 2 Jun 1997 18:38:57 -0500 kernel-package (3.31) unstable; urgency=low * Added a version number to the dependency on dpkg-dev, we now require at least version 1.4.0.9., since dpkg-gencontrol fails with an error: failure: chown new files list file: Illegal seek This fixes BUG#10121. * Added problems with older versions of dpkg-dev to the problems file. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 25 May 1997 22:33:47 -0500 kernel-package (3.30) unstable; urgency=low * Tested with 2.0.30 and 2.1.40. * Moved config to /boot, where it arguably should have gone to in the first place. The /boot directory contains other information pertinent to the kernel, such as the System.map file, and the psdatabase. The information about exactly what was configured into the kernel was missing, and it can get quite critical on some machines. Also, the config file may serve as a base for compiling the next kernel. This file is not really a configuration file (not when packaged as part of the kernel-image package), hence it does not belong in /etc (no amount of changing this file will have any affect on system behaviour). -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 21 May 1997 01:44:17 -0500 kernel-package (3.29) unstable; urgency=low * Kernel-image and kernel-doc now suggest each other. * Also recognize powerpc as a synonym for ppc in determining whether we use zImage or bzImage by default. * Fixed up some typos in documentation * Added rules target kernel_doc. This fixes BUG#9138 * Also install .config file under /usr/doc. This fixes BUG#9298 -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 2 May 1997 14:34:51 -0500 kernel-package (3.28) frozen unstable; urgency=low * No longer install text files in the modules directory, since depmod in modutils-2.1.34 fails when it finds a non-ELF file in modules directory. This fixes Bug#9243. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 30 Apr 1997 15:24:51 -0500 kernel-package (3.27) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Really add in all the changes sent in by Herbert Xu. The changes are: * Changed to source package name back to kernel-source-=V again. * Changed the installs to be without -o root -g root since it is no longer useful as the chowns are done before the packages are built. It also means that if it is used in targets like stamp-configure which may be run by anyone it won't not generate an error. * Made rules file generate the control file. * Fixed some typos in chown commands while generating the header packages. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 21 Apr 1997 15:12:19 -0500 kernel-package (3.26) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Made the default image for ppc architecture zImage. This fixes Bug#8696 . * Forgot to mention that the source package for the kernel packages (produced by make-kpkg buildpackage, for example) has been changed to not contain the kernel version as part of the name (all the deb files produced have not changed), so we now get kernel-image-xxx_yy_zz.deb, kernel-source-xxx_yy_zz.deb, and kernel-headers-xxx_yy_zz.deb, along with kernel-source.tar.gz and kernel-source_yy.diff.gz * Added config dependencies for module targets -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:53:24 -0500 kernel-package (3.25) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Added changes sent in by the kernel packages maintainer. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 13 Apr 1997 00:03:36 -0500 kernel-package (3.24) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed a bash 2.0 inconsistency -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 9 Apr 1997 13:33:58 -0500 kernel-package (3.23) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed typos in rules for generating external modules -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 9 Apr 1997 12:41:45 -0500 kernel-package (3.22) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Documented constraints on the debian revision field. This is important enough that I am reproducing the text of the admonition here. The revision number (the argument supplied after the --revision flag) has certain constraints: it may contain only alphanumerics and the characters + . (full stop, and plus) and should contain a digit. NOTE: No hyphens allowed. (Look at Chapter 5 of the Programmers manual for details) This is because dpkg imposes an ordering on version numbers, so that it can tell whether packages are being up or downgraded and so that dselect can tell whether a package it finds available is newer than the one installed on the system. -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 4 Apr 1997 11:48:42 -0600 kernel-package (3.21) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Tested source package creation for 2.1.30 * set umask to copy the kernel source files untainted by package creators umask. * set umask to copy the kernel header files untainted by package creators umask. -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 1 Apr 1997 11:04:42 -0600 kernel-package (3.20) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Could not reproduce BUG#8274, neither could the original reporter. I have made some changes in the postinst to allow leading whitespace in the user responses, and tested it on three different kernel-source versions. I believe this bug is fixed now (I have 3 suitable boot floppies as evidence). * image postinst no longer aborts when the user gives up on formatting a floppy, but now offers a choice to proceed with a preformatted floppy. * Fixed spelling errors in kernel image postinst, fixing BUG#8409 * Offer to user superformat if it exists. * Tested boot floppy creation. * Tested on 2.0.29, 2.1.29, and 2.1.30 * Spell check the Problems file, mention setfdprm in there. * Mention setfdprm in postinst if fail to format floppy. * Fix a typo in code determining which floppy drive to use * Allow leading whitespace in responses * Added required packages to the README file. -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 23 Mar 1997 22:53:13 -0600 kernel-package (3.19) unstable; urgency=low * Tested again on 2.1.27 kernel. * Added correct Handling for ipv6 modules in rules file -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 1 Mar 1997 13:52:15 -0600 kernel-package (3.18) unstable; urgency=high * Successfully compiled a 2.1.27 kernel. * Made make-kpkg not look for modules directory; that directory is removed by a make-kpkg clean. * Mentioned that ncurses-dev is required for make menuconfig in the README file. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 22 Feb 1997 23:36:30 -0600 kernel-package (3.17) unstable; urgency=low * Stupid @#$%$%@! vi changed Feb to February in the changelog messing up gencontrol. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 17 Feb 1997 19:29:02 -0600 kernel-package (3.16) unstable; urgency=low * Started compiling a list of known problems with compiling kernel images. This is now available as /usr/doc/kernel-package/Problems. * Moved to standards version 2.1.2.2. * Removed extra root checks in the rules file. * Added error messages to failed root check in the rules file. -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 13 Feb 1997 14:40:41 -0600 kernel-package (3.15) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed kernel rules file so that one does not depend on the existence of modules. This fixes BUG#6898. -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 28 Jan 1997 22:15:27 -0600 kernel-package (3.14) unstable; urgency=low * Made image.postinst conform to standards version 2.1.2.2. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 27 Jan 1997 09:09:37 -0600 kernel-package (3.13) unstable; urgency=low * Silly typo in postinst (never code when sleepy). -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 27 Jan 1997 00:56:48 -0600 kernel-package (3.12) unstable; urgency=low * Added more injunction to run make-kpkg clean regularly * Remove /lib/modules/$version/modules.dep if it exists. Recreate immediately with depmod -a. This will help reinstall the same kernel version more than once. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 27 Jan 1997 00:38:59 -0600 kernel-package (3.11) unstable; urgency=low * Added suggestions for fdutils and LILO for the kernel_image package. * Fixed typo in include.postinst. Fixes BUG#6692. * Added warnings about possible (recent?) failure to autodetect floppy drives if using old fdformat from miscutils while creating a boot disk. This addresses BUG#6037. -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 20 Jan 1997 12:03:31 -0600 kernel-package (3.10) unstable; urgency=low * *ALERT*. Changed how customization variables are handled. All variables are given reasonable (IMHO) defaults. Then the site customization file /etc/kernel-pkg.conf is read in, which can over-ride the defaults. THEN, the environment/command line variables are used to over-ride the values. * New env variables: KPKG_MAINTAINER, KPKG_EMAIL, IMAGE_IN_BOOT, IMAGE_TYPE * new customization variables: kimage, image_in_boot * Edited README to give bare bones documentation for user customizable vars. * Added man page kernel-pkg.conf.5. * Normalized existing man pages according to the templates floating around on the list. * Added copyright statements to the man pages. * Documented changes in make-kpkg * Added --bzimage option to make-kpkg for completeness. * Added a --zimage option to make-kpkg, (with support in the rules file), to make a zImage kernel rather than a bzImage kernel (the default). Useful for people having problems with bzImage kernels. Suggested by Richard G. Roberto -- Manoj Srivastava Tue, 7 Jan 1997 12:44:00 -0600 kernel-package (3.09) unstable; urgency=low * Added documentation to the effect that make-kpkg is part of kernel-package in various READMEs. * Made the final location of vmlinuz configurable (since one may have it under /boot as well as /). -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 2 Jan 1997 11:27:06 -0600 kernel-package (3.08) unstable; urgency=low * Added a man page for internal script kernel-packageconfig. This fixes BUG#6304. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 1 Jan 1997 22:02:03 -0600 kernel-package (3.07) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed typo in kernel image postinst script -- Manoj Srivastava Sun, 29 Dec 1996 23:40:31 -0600 kernel-package (3.06) unstable; urgency=low * Allow local configuration of the destination of all kernel related deb file (the default remains ..). Now one can set it to directories like ../kernel-deb or /boot/archive/deb or whatever by setting the variable DEB_DEST in the conf file. * Offer user a choice about floppy drive to use. Also make it explicit which floppy drive is being used. This fixes BUG#6037. * Warn Intel users that they should get bin86 as well, if they intend to compile a custom kernel. This fixes BUG#6144. -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 27 Dec 1996 18:09:51 -0600 kernel-package (3.05) unstable; urgency=low * The package needs dpkg-gencontrol to do any work whatsoever, so it should depend on dpkg-dev, instead of merely recommending it. This fixes BUG#6040. -- Manoj Srivastava Sat, 21 Dec 1996 01:54:01 -0600 kernel-package (3.04) unstable; urgency=low * Added dpkg (>= 1.4) to the dependencies, since older versions do not understand the new dpkg --build syntax. This fixes BUG#6041 * Fixed target modules config in kernel/rules. This fixes BUG#5836 * Latest default kernel config file -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 27 Nov 1996 15:11:12 -0600 kernel-package (3.03) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * changed priority of kernel-source package to optional * changed priority of kernel-image package to optional * Recommended dpkg-dev since kernel/rules call binaries from there This fixes a problem that a number of people have reported on the lists, though it never made it as a formal bug report. -- Manoj Srivastava Fri, 22 Nov 1996 11:02:31 -0600 kernel-package (3.02) unstable; urgency=low * kernel-source-X.XX now no longer recommends bin86, since bin86 is only available Intel platforms. It now merely mentions it in the description. -- Manoj Srivastava Thu, 7 Nov 1996 22:18:15 -0600 kernel-package (3.01) unstable; urgency=low * Changed one last typo in postinst. This (finally) fixes Bug#4234. * Also, version 3.00 fixed Bug#4500 and Bug#4624 * kernel-source-X.XX now recommends bin86, which fixes Bug#4443 * Added short, succinct (and potentially dangerous) instructions on compiling kernels at the top of the README file. This fixes Bug#4445. -- Manoj Srivastava Wed, 6 Nov 1996 23:58:35 -0600 kernel-package (3.00) unstable; urgency=medium * Changed the kernel-package to the new packaging schemes. * Removed the dist, source, and diff targets for make-kpkg, added binary-arch, binary-indep, and buildpackage targets. * Changed make-kpkg to reflect reorganization of the /usr/lib/kernel-package/ tree. * Changed Author email. * Removed dithering about ./debian/* in kernel sources, now make-kpkg looks only at /usr/lib/kernel-package/ (clears confusion about older versions of kernel-package). * Modified make-kpkg.8 to reflect changes in make-kpkg, and ran a spell check. * Renamed debian/package.config to kernel-packageconfig, and removed (obsolete) references to dchanges) * Moved *.README to copyright.*, and changed the rules files to conform. * Added explanation for kernel-headers-X.XX (and why we need this package in spite of having headers in libc5-dev) -- Manoj Srivastava Mon, 4 Nov 1996 16:19:33 -0600 kernel-package (2.03) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed typo in make-kpkg man pages where it insisted that it was make-dpkg ;-) * Made the close brackets agree with open brackets in the man page synopsis. This fixes Bug#3960 -- Manoj Srivastava kernel-package (2.02) unstable; low * Made image.postinst more polite. * Also enabled kernel-{source,image,headers} targets in kernel.rules * Changed make-kpkg to also accept the new targets. * Fixed typo in man page. * The man page says it is an administrators man page rather than a programmers man page. * Recommended libc-dev for kernel-source and kernel-package * source suggests ncurses3.0-dev, tk40-dev and the description explains you could use make menuconfig rather than plain old make config if you had these packages. * Fixed typo in the rules for modules in /usr/src/modules/ directory * Made the rules for such modules ignore errors (since they are not really a part of this package, error there should not halt this build (or so people seem to want it) * Look for modules in the kernel config file (or the default config file if the user has not supplied a config file), and only make modules and install them if modules have been configured in the config file. This could be tested better. * Fixed the make-kpkg.8 man page so that it now does not seem to mandate a source and diff file for additional modules installed under the directory /usr/src/modules/ (whether these files are produced is at the discretion of the maintainer of that modules package. * Make configure depend on stamp-configure which in turn depends on .config Hopefully, this will remake the image target if one changes the config file Hopefully, this will not cause the image target to build needlessly. -- Manoj Srivastava kernel-package (2.01) unstable; urgency=low * Changed the scripts to refer to /usr/bin/perl rather than /bin/perl. * Added an extended description to the image control file. * Added a note that the dist target requires a PGP key. * Fixed a typo (missing DEBDIR) in debian.rules. * Fixed the targets expected by make-kpkg (kernel_image rather than kernel-image, etc). * In image.postinst, made arguments to system be a single argument if the arguments contain shell meta-characters, (this way perl passes them to sh -c). * Made make-kpkg accept non floats as revision numbers, to facilitate local names. * Fixed silly bug in makefloppy in image.postinst. * Fixed the extended description of the kernel-package package. * Updated the image postinst to install the mbr, if it exists, and to activate the root partition, and to not overwrite the mbr (oops). * Changed maintainer email address to debian.org (I'll be in a state of flux soon) -- Manoj Srivastava
