Package: src:linux Version: 4.12.6-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
AFAIK there is/was either a policy or a common practise for all packages to have changelog.Debian.gz giving only changes/patches made by Debian for the distribution and all upstream changes made by kernel.org in its own changelog.gz . While I'm sure that the debian-kernel team would probably have done this with some reason that is somehow not apparent or unknown here. I did look at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=linux to see if I could find any bug-report about changelogs but apparently haven't found anything. If there has been some discussion which explains the reason why it was done (and if memory serves right, we used to have changelog.gz and Debian.changelog.gz both) a link to the same would be helpful. Looking forward to know more. ┌─[shirish@debian] - [/usr/share/doc/linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64] - [10256] └─[$] ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 4.12.0-1-amd64 (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.4.0 20170805 (Debian 6.4.0-3) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.12.6-1 (2017-08-12) ** Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-1-amd64 root=UUID=87d82d2b-dc1a-4f01-8ba4-c68290598b23 ro ipv6.disable=1 quiet ** Not tainted <snipped, not needed info. > -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.130 ii kmod 24-1 ii linux-base 4.5 Versions of packages linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64 recommends: ii firmware-linux-free 3.4 ii irqbalance 1.1.0-2.3 Versions of packages linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64 suggests: ii debian-kernel-handbook 1.0.18 ii extlinux 3:6.03+dfsg-14.1 ii grub-pc 2.02-2 pn linux-doc-4.12 <none> Versions of packages linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64 is related to: pn firmware-amd-graphics <none> pn firmware-atheros <none> pn firmware-bnx2 <none> pn firmware-bnx2x <none> pn firmware-brcm80211 <none> pn firmware-cavium <none> pn firmware-intel-sound <none> pn firmware-intelwimax <none> pn firmware-ipw2x00 <none> pn firmware-ivtv <none> pn firmware-iwlwifi <none> pn firmware-libertas <none> pn firmware-linux-nonfree <none> ii firmware-misc-nonfree 20161130-3 pn firmware-myricom <none> pn firmware-netxen <none> pn firmware-qlogic <none> ii firmware-realtek 20161130-3 pn firmware-samsung <none> pn firmware-siano <none> pn firmware-ti-connectivity <none> pn xen-hypervisor <none> -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
