Package: installation-guide-amd64 Version: 20150423 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Refer to 8.6. Compiling a New Kernel. I believe this is also present in some other arch installation-guides. The installation-guide tells the user to run the following command to begin compiling their new kernel. "Now compile the kernel: fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" However, running this command results in the following error output: Error: The revision string may only contain alphanumerics and the characters ~ + . If epochs are used, the colon : is also allowed The current value is: custom.1.0 Aborting. Upon running "make-kpkg --help" it states the following, "--revision number The debian revision number. ([0-9][a-zA-Z.~+0-9]) (Must start with a digit)" As you can see, the revision string must start with a digit. I suggest updating the guide to reflect this requirement, "Now compile the kernel: fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=1.0.custom kernel_image" -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.7-ckt9 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
