Package: kernel-package Version: 12.010 Option --overlay-dir appears to be broken (I try to use it to provide a useful changelog; it used to be the case that the changelog file could be modified between the configure and build stages, but now it seems to be overwritten again, so I tried to fix this by providing my own changelog with --overlay-dir). The error lines look like this:
test ! -d /tmp/overlay-dir || \ (cd /tmp/overlay-dir; tar cf - . | (cd /debian; umask 000; tar xsf -)) tar: ./changelog: Cannot open: Permission denied tar: ./Control: Cannot open: Permission denied tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors make: *** [debian/stamp/conf/minimal_debian] Error 2 The offender seems to be kernel/ruleset/minimal.mk which references $(SRCTOP) at line 115, which is undefined. I don't understand what makefile calls what, so I can't help any further, but replacing with (cd $(strip $(KPKG_OVERLAY_DIR)); tar cf - .) | (cd debian; umask 000; tar xsf -) seems to do the trick.
