Package: debian-kernel-ng (any may be others) Upstream Author: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org (ML needs to be created f= irst) Description: infrastructure for creation and installation of System kerne= ls debian-kernel should become a project to extend and improve the current toolchain around the kernel package installation and creation. It will combine ideas from http://debian.linuxwiki.de/DebianKernel/Plan with that listed below. The project should become a separate mailing list. It has already be requested in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D219826 and I hope to achieve agreement with the submitter of #219826. ----- Forwarded message from Eduard Bloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 17:11:45 +0100 From: Eduard Bloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: create new Debian-Kernel project (was: ITP: linux -- Linux 2.4 k= ernel) To: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail-Followup-To: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #include <hallo.h> * Jamie Wilkinson [Mon, Nov 10 2003, 06:54:22PM]: > >The fact of the too generic package name was mentioned before within > >other arguments against your "linux" package.

Note that the name is choosen not only to attract the user, but also to catch that who blindly use "apt-get source linux". The user wouldn't get the well-known and good kernel-source packages but something which is under control of Robert. Further, what they would get is not a clean source but something with debian/ dir inside which would confuse make-kpkg.

I believe you don't. Ah, that is a good base to start a discussion. Of course it is better to keep the upstreams name but make exceptions if they are too generic, to confusing or to offensive (though we did already accept such ones, eg. "pornview" ;)). > Given that there's a possibility that Debian will include non-linux ker= nels > in the future.

I would not call any package "linux" or "freebsd", not even in the source package name. In fact, for a future development of debian-kernel packaging, I have written something down few days ago. ...=20 # create debian-kernel mailing list, found a new project called # debian-kernel alias DK. Keep the project files in a project-internal # repository unless the stuff is mature enough to see the daylight of Si= d, # post-sarge. In addition to the others plan on the mentioned Wiki page, we need following packages: linux-kernel-setup: setup utility for the Linux kernel packages created by the debian-kernel project (s/linux/Hurd/ or *BSD) linux-initrd-builder: adapted version of initrd-tools; supposed to work with d-k kernel packages but not limited to t= hem =20 packages following the following naming strategy: linix-kernel-source-2.4.XY: basicaly the upstream source =20 lk-patch-essential-2.4.XY: hot fixes like for security issues, compiling problems etc. =20 lk-patch-recommended-2.4.XY: important but optional patches like initrd-on-cramfs fix <discuss that>, vesafb-as-module, bigphysarea... lk-patch-suggested-2.4.XY: sensible patches but not sensible for everyone: ipsec backports, dk-meta-linux-2.4.23: meta package with dependencies/conflicts to keep the *-2.4.XY packages above in = sync The binary kernel packages would not be longer distributed with auto-installing script and all the modules inside. Instead, they would us= e the <linux|...>-kernel-setup utility. No longer one big package, but crea= te: linux-kernel-$KVERS: meta package with strong dependency on lki-$KVERS an= d maybe some modules packages, see below. linux-kernel-image-$KVERS: the image itself, including System.map, config= , etc. linux-modules-general-$KVERS: all the general modules, including common componentes like scsi-hd/cd support used by usb/firewire/... drivers linux-modules-ide-$KVERS: includes all the low-level ide drivers linux-modules-scsi-$KVERS: same for scsi linux-modules-usb-...: ... linux-modules-firewire-...: ... linux-modules-multimedia-...: sound drivers, v4l, joystick drivers, etc. <end-of-brainstorming> I am open for discussions about that.

I'm closing your bug because of the following reasons: - It is older than 600 days old. - It haven't had any activity recently. - The amount of ITPs on the Debian BTS is huge and we need to clean up a bit the place. If your bug shouldn't be closed, you are more than free to re-open it, for example, if you still have intentions to package the software in question or the like. To re-open it, you simply have to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a body text like this: reopen 123456 thanks bts Replacing '123456' for the number of your ITP bug. The subject of the mail is ignored. Or if you have any kind of problems when dealing with the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help you on this: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. This is the first mass wnpp closing that will be done. The next close will be done on inactive ITPs older than 450 days and finally, the ones older than 365 days (an automatic script will close *inactive* ITPs when they reach one year old). A similar process will be applied to the RFP wnpp bugs in the next days. Thanks for your cooperation, David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
