So you have to go through an additional step to build the per-kernel module packages, which are not listed in debian/control but are present in the archive. me: We cannot support this security-wise. Apart from that the package apparently fails to build from source (FTBFS) if make -f debian/rules build sudo make -f debian/rules binary doesn't produce all required binary packages that should end up in the archive. This is surely release-critical.

All of these commands execute in user space, not in kernel space. What this bug is asking for is that a process be put in place to automatically build the oprofile kernel modules for 2.2 or 2.4 kernels -- item 1(b) from above (the user space commands of item 2 above are not affected). We highly recommend instead moving to a Linux 2.6 kernel -- the versions of the oprofile module in 2.6 kernels contain more functionality, are more robust, and can more easily help find performance issues. If you must use an older kernel, please use the 'oprofile-source' package and either 'make-kpkg' or 'module-assistant' to build your own oprofile kernel module. -- Ciao, al ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Stone Alter Ego: Open Source and Linux R&D Debian Developer Hewlett-Packard Company http://www.debian.org E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
