Rebuilding the linux kernel quickly
Hi, I am starring at the documentation for rebuilding the Debian kernel. I'd like to test a change in a non-module section of the kernel code (CONFIG_FB_OF=y), to resolve #825840. So I thought I could simply follows the steps from: https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.5 [...] # apt-get install build-essential fakeroot # apt-get build-dep linux $ mkdir tmp && cd tmp $ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) $ cd linux-* $ fakeroot debian/rules source $ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc [...] dh_installdocs dh_installchangelogs dh_strip Can't exec "-objcopy": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 243. dh_strip: -objcopy --only-keep-debug --compress-debug-sections debian/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/usr/lib/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/hack-coff debian/.debhelper/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/dbgsym-root/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/db/692a8d7808bd1b2adc58cd43f114d6fe006303.debug failed to to execute: No such file or directory debian/rules.real:194: recipe for target 'install-base' failed make[2]: *** [install-base] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/mathieu/tmp/linux-4.5.4' debian/rules.real:376: recipe for target 'install-image_powerpc_none_powerpc' failed make[1]: *** [install-image_powerpc_none_powerpc] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mathieu/tmp/linux-4.5.4' debian/rules.gen:204: recipe for target 'binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc_real' failed make: *** [binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc_real] Error 2 I can see objcopy right here: mathieu@debian:~/tmp/linux-4.5.4$ ls -al /usr/bin/*objcopy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 12 16:59 /usr/bin/objcopy -> powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 266200 May 12 16:59 /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy And I am using: mathieu@debian:~/tmp/linux-4.5.4$ uname -a Linux debian 4.5.0-2-powerpc #1 Debian 4.5.4-1 (2016-05-16) ppc GNU/Linux Does anyone know how to build only the powperpc flavor from a powerpc system ? Thanks much.

I think there's been a regression somewhere in the rules for setting architecture variables. Adding 'dpkg-architecture -apowerpc -c' in front of the command may help.

Bug#826143: ITP: libtest-regexp-perl -- Perl module to test regular expressions
Package: wnpp Owner: Salvatore Bonaccorso Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-p...@lists.debian.org * Package name: libtest-regexp-perl Version : 2015110201 Upstream Author : Abigail * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Test-Regexp * License : Expat Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl module to test regular expressions Test::Regexp is intended to test regular expressions. Given a subject string and a regular expression (aka pattern), the module not only tests whether the regular expression complete matches the subject string, it performs a utf8::upgrade or utf8::downgrade on the subject string and performs the tests again, if necessary. Furthermore, given a pattern with capturing parenthesis, it checks whether all captures are present, and in the right order. Both named and unnamed captures are checked. The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
Bug#826164: ITP: healpix-java -- HEALPix representation of spherical data - Java library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Leo Singer * Package name: healpix-java Version : 3.30 Upstream Author : Martin Reinecke * URL : http://healpix.sourceforge.net * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Java Description : HEALPix representation of spherical data - Java library HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background. This package provides the Java language implementation of HEALPix. Ole Streicher requested a Debian package for healpix-java because it is a dependency of Aladin Sky Atlas, a popular interactive tool for exploring astronomical images and databases. I already maintain the Debian packages for three other HEALPix language flavors (chealpix, healpix-cxx, healpy) as well as the MacPorts packages for C, C++, Python, and Java. I would like to contribute a Debian package for the Java flavor and maintain it under the aegis of the Debian Astro Team.
