Package: rtlinux
Version: 3.1pre3-2

One of the reasons for using Debian is the lack of messyness when having
everything installed with packages, including kernel images.

For normal kernels, make-kpkg from kernel-package makes a terrific job
at creating new kernel-image packages with friends.

In a perfect world it should be possible to easily create those packages
for RTLinux patched kernels too. However the README.Debian gives no help
on how it could be done.

Although I don't fully understand what is done when a rtlinux patch is
applied to the kernel I assume it messes to much with the core internals
to be enough for RTLinux to provide a /usr/src/modules/ directory, but
the modules should be able to build from such a directory?

Creating a simple shell script to check that kernel version and patch
versions correspond would help. And after that patching the kernel to
produce a tree suitable to run make-kpkg in.

I'm willing to help. Please tell me how.
