Package: kernel-package Version: 10.068 Severity: normal Tags: patch
make-kpkg's --config option limits the choice of config methods offered by the kernel. I think it should offer the same options as the kernel does. Most notably the 'silentoldconfig' method (which would even be nice to have as default method as it doesn't fill the entire scrollback buffer, which plain oldconfig does). The patch below at least enables the use of 'silentoldconfig' --- make-kpkg.orig 2007-03-02 00:23:01.000000000 +0100 +++ make-kpkg 2007-03-02 12:11:43.000000000 +0100 @@ -707,9 +707,9 @@ # Official image maintainers ask to be allowed to create modified # configure targets. if (! -f 'debian/official') { - if ($config_target !~ /^(?:|old|menu|x|g|rand|def|all(mod|yes|no))(config)?$/) { + if ($config_target !~ /^(?:|silentold|old|menu|x|g|rand|def|all(mod|yes|no))(config)?$/) { print "Config type must be one of {config,oldconfig,menuconfig,xconfig,gconfig\n"; - print " randconfig,defconfig,allmodconfigallyesconfig,allnoconfig}.\n"; + print " randconfig,defconfig,allmodconfigallyesconfig,allnoconfig,silentoldconfig}.\n"; print "use --help to display command line syntax help.\n"; exit 1; } -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.1-server Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.25 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.19-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.6-5 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.1-21 The GNU C compiler ii gettext 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.81-3 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.8 manage translated Debconf template Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.5-0exp3 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
