-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I debugged the problem a little more. First of all the good news: 8.119 works for me, 8.120 is broken. And the 8.120 version is also a hell of a lot slower: With 8.119 (works) ========== /usr/src/linux-2.6.10$ time /usr/share/kernel-package/rules DEBIAN_REVISION=5:10.Custom clean [...] real 0m10.120s user 0m5.866s sys 0m4.125s ========== with 8.120 (broken, and prints a lot of warnings like Makefile:484: .config: No such file or directory) ========== /usr/src/linux-2.6.10$ time /usr/share/kernel-package/rules DEBIAN_REVISION=5:10.Custom clean [...] /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file [...] real 1m17.266s user 0m49.161s sys 0m26.579s ========== What really goes wrong in 8.120 is that when calling "$(deb_rule) unpatch_now" in the real_stamp_clean target, the $(EXTRA_VERSION) var is not empty as it should be. It is in fact the string "make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10'" Thus the obscure error message. I did found out that by adding the following line after the ifneq check in /usr/share/kernel-package/rule: [...] ifneq ($(strip $(EXTRA_VERSION)),) $(error XXX$(EXTRA_VERSION)XXX) [...] Why it fails like this however I don't know. I think you should revert back to the old grep calls for EXTRA_VERSION and the other vars. And it would be very much faster: right now the linux kernel Makefile is parsed hundreds of times because it is included in kernel_versions.mk. Regards, Bastian - -- ,''`.
