Patching the Kernel the Debian Way

2003-01-28 Thread Doug MacFarlane
Team: I need to apply the freeswan patch to the kernel, and, as always, I hope to do this "The Debian Way". I've been reading the make-kpkg man page, and there appears to be 3 different ways to do this. 1. The patch_the_kernel configuration option, which I assume is somewhere in the .config fi

Nobody here answered my question about using kernel-patch .deb files, so I'm going to answer myself. This way, anybody searching the list archives will at least gain a little info and maybe get over this hump more quickly than me. I have had a separate email exchange with Manoj Srivastava, the au

I'm told (in the kernel-package/README) that: "If you're using the patch_the_kernel facility, you may want to remove step 2 and instead insert `--config=menuconfig' into the make-kpkg command-line of step 4 (or perhaps use `xconfig' or `config' in place of `menuconfi
