kernel-package (7.104) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix the rules file to short circuit a twisty set of confusing
dependencies for configuration related targets. The bug it closes
used an non-standard build method (--rootcmd fakeroot is how I do it),
but it used to work before, and it should do so again. Hopefully
nothing else broke. closes: Bug#140455

kernel-package (7.103) unstable; urgency=low
* Added the potential value AUTO for PATCH_THE_KERNEL, which is useful

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.

kernel-package (7.100) unstable; urgency=low
* Hmm. 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. I
have cleaned up soe of the rules involved to get greater transparency
in the phenomena. Also, remove benign warning about not finding the
MODULES_LOC dir. closes: Bug#139132

* ramdisk = 0 settings in lilo.conf prevent initrds from working

added this to the preinst check that image packages perform if you

* Added a patch from Guido Guenther <agx@sigxcpu.org> to add bootloader
support for mips ip22. It furthermore changes the default kernel
format from ecoff to elf on mip since this is what the bootloader
expects. People needing an ecoff kernel(for whatever reason) can
easily convert the elf kernel to ecoff using elf2ecoff(from the mips

kernel-package (7.44) unstable; urgency=low
* There was a problem while installing a kernel with no modules created
with a new, more helpful kernel-package, which tries to run depmod
during install (This helps people who are replacing the running kernel
with a new kernel with the same version). I have now fixed the
postinst to check whether the directory exists before calling depmod.

* Fixed spelling errors in make-kpkg(1). closes: Bug#99454
* Remove empty /lib/modules/$version dir in postinst if empty. dpkg did
not remove the directory, obviously since there were files it was not
aware of created by depmod, however these were removed by the postrm
correctly, but it neglected to remove the empty directory.

* Now add documentation to the effect that if one runs make (menu|x)?config
to configure the kernel, it creates `include/linux/version.h', which
contains the kernel version without_ the append_to_version data. This
file won't be updated by the make-kpkg run (make-kpkg creates
version.h if it doesn't exist, but doesn't touch if exists), so the
final kernel will _not_ have the append_to_version data in its version
number. Now kernel-package moans about the file, and allows you to
abort early. closes: Bug#97202, Bug#98908

* Softened the stance about hyphens in revision strings that was adopted

hyphens in the revision, since no checks are in place to ensure the
resulting version is legal. Now, a warning is generated at the
beginning warniong that this may cause a problem at the tail end of a

string that shall not cause dpkg and friends to choke. This is at 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 revisions into the ekrnel-image versions (and thus it shall

bug. This fixes Bug# 63559
* Added checks and guards to ensue that 63558 would be caught and more
information provided. Insufficient data as yet to figure out what is
causing it.

wrong fork. closes: Bug#63409

for it being a dir before stripping the leading / off. Either one of
these changes would fix the bugs reported. closes: Bug#63419, Bug#63388

kernel-package (7.06) unstable; urgency=low
* Somehow, kernel-doc-blah was never made to have /usr/doc links; it is
fixed in this version.
* Added a new option to kernel package to allow specifying which modules
one means to compile when doing the modulkes targets - this also
allows people to use kernel-package to compile modules in non standard
location, by giving a full path for the module directory.

kernel-package (7.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed image postinst to allow people to specify they want the image
moved from /boot into some other location (for example, loadlin users)
closes: Bug#61832
* Changed the default version number from 1.00. closes: Bug#62836
* Can't reproduce .config being deleted (and indeed, there is not code
in lernel-package that directly deletes that file). I'm closing this
bug until we get a reproducible problem, or at least more
details. 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
is so you have an alternative to using --config; you can just call
make-kpkg debian, make menuconfig, make-kpkg ....

* Make sure that version specific kernel-patch subdirectories are
supported for the all directory as well (they were supported for arch
specific patches already). closes: Bug#61915

string. closes: Bug#61213
* Made the dependency in kernel-source packagesbe for libncurses-dev |
ncurses-dev, since the latter is being phased out. This is an

* On user request, do not fail to make symbolic links in / merely
because the system does not ahve the default bootloader installed --
people are using alternative boot loaders out there. Instead there is
a config file that can provide the answer -- oif the config file does
not exists, the postinst asks the user, and creates the config file.

always embedding the arch in the name). Note that only the image
package _name_ is affected. fixes: BUG#31972

A set of config files for different archs are shipped in /usr/lib/kernel-package/Config/. This is useful for people who compile for several architectures. * Major cleanup and rewrite for mutiarchitecture support. All arch related stuff is catured in a section on top. There is no need to edit it into the kernel makeile, we can now determine subarchs ourselves. * Also pass along the maintainers email address while compiling the modules, not just the name. * Make sure that sparcs use the vmlinux file, and gzip it.

* 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.

from what I hear. 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 <J.J.Troup@scm.brad.ac.uk>

not create /usr/src/linux-<version>, which breaks libc6-dev.

* 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.

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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <tko@westgac3.dragon.com> 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

kernel-package (3.44) unstable; urgency=low
* Install the README.headers in the right place for the source
package. closes:Bug#14552.

kernels. closes:Bug#14527.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <kooij@mpn.cp.philips.com>
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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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-<version>, 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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-<version>, 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 <mitchell@mozcom.com> and Noel Maddy <ncm@biostat.hfh.edu>.
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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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.

not anymore create /boot/psdatabase-X.X.XX. The psdatabase file does
not seem to be required anymore.

-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> 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.

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).

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

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 <srivasta@debian.org> 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

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.

* Could not reproduce BUG#8274, neither could the original reporter. I have
made some changes in the postinst to allow leading whitespace in the

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

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

* 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

* 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

* 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.

* 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)
