builddeb: Try to determine distribution

2015-01-06T19:42:46Z

lsb_release command is a good choice to determine the distribution name for the changelog file in the generated Debian packages [1]. Its installation is no precondition. In Debian it is still not essential or build-essential. Ben gave some helpful informations and detailed explanations in [2]. There he also suggested to have an option to explicitly set the distribution name (see $KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST variable). Embedded the improvement as suggested by Thorsten (see [3]): "This is suboptimal: if KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST is defined, lsb_release is not necessary. The following snippet also omits using its output if it fails but still produces any:" Dealing with this issue I learned about "The Colon in the Shell." and possible pitfalls in this area (see [4,5]). Furthermore, refreshed my knowledge about redirecting outputs with the echo command (see [5]). Special thanks to Thorsten, I enjoyed the IRC session with you. Cooked together the snippets of Ben and Thorsten (see [2,3]). Tested against Linux v3.19-rc2. Thanks goes to Alexander, Ben, maximilian and Thorsten for the very vital help.

builddeb: Update year and git repository URL in debian/copyright

2015-01-02T16:05:47Z

Happy new 2015! I have combined two patches which I had already sent to linux-kbuild ML. Today, I prefer "builddeb" as a label for such patches.

scripts/package: binrpm-pkg do not create source and devel package

2014-12-08T12:11:22Z

When doing make binrpm-pkg we only want to build the binary and header package as the documentation of binrpm-pkg target claims. Hence this patch avoid building the source and devel package. This makes binrpm-pkg target lot faster and way more usefull. Signed-off-by: Jérôme Glisse Cc: Michal Marek [mmarek: used subject line from v3] Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

deb-pkg: remove obsolete -isp option to dpkg-gencontrol

2014-10-06T16:02:39Z

The -isp option has been deprecated, after it became the default behaviour back in 2006. Since dpkg 1.17.11, dpkg-gencontrol emits a warning on -isp usage. References: https://bugs.debian.org/215233 Signed-off-by: Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

deb-pkg: Add support for powerpc little endian

2014-09-12T14:10:42Z

The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64el. This is the default architecture used by Ubuntu for powerpc. The below checks the kernel config to see if we are compiling little endian and sets the Debian arch appropriately. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

builddeb: put the dbg files into the correct directory

2014-08-26T14:01:07Z

Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit 7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular linux-image package instead of the debug files package. Fix up the paths so that the debug files end up in the -dbg package. This is based on a similar patch by Darrick. Reported-and-tested-by: "Darrick J. Wong" Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: Make scripts executable

2014-08-20T14:03:45Z

The Makefiles call the respective interpreter explicitly, but this makes it easier to use the scripts manually. Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

builddeb: fix missing headers in linux-headers package

2014-06-18T19:36:36Z

The kernel headers package (linux-headers) doesn't include several header files required to build out-of-tree modules. It makes the package unusable on e.g. ARM architecture: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.14.0/arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h:24:25: fatal error: mach/memory.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated.

kbuild: Fix tar-pkg with relative $(objtree)

2014-06-18T15:34:59Z

Commit 7e1c0477 (kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)) assumes that the build process does not change its working directory. make tar-pkg was a couterexample, fix this by changing directory only for the tar command and not for the whole script, which at one point references the now relative $(objtree).
