Where can I find the proper source or repository to create a patch for the Debian "kernel-package" package?
I'm looking to use the Debian package called "kernel-package" to build a .deb containing a u-boot compatible uImage for the arm platform. I've found (and responded to) bug 572117 [1] indicating that I'm interested in creating a patch to add this ability and I've started work on the patch. [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572117 In my attempt to create a patch to add uImage ability, I found that the Debian QA system [2] links to a git repo [3], but the code within the git repo is not what ships with Debian Squeeze via the source packages for "kernel-package". The latest tagged version in the git repo is 12.035 but even Squeeze ships with 12.036+nmu1, testing has 12.036+nmu2. Both appear to come from Launchpad. [2]: http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kernel-package.html [3]: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/srivasta/debian/kernel-package.git Ubuntu's Launchpad appears to have the source used in Squeeze and testing [4] along with recent Ubuntu releases. The Bazzar rev 15 appears to coincide with the git tag for v12.035, but I've not confirmed this in detail. [4]: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kernel-package Since the Debian QA system links to the git repo, that's where I started my patch from, but after reviewing the changes made in the +nmu packages and Launchpad, I feel it would be better to base my work there. It's all a bit confusing as to what source is actually being used to build the "kernel-package" package that ship with Debian. Can someone please clarify it for me so I can create a patch that has a good chance of being accepted? If the git repo is not the proper location for "kernel-package" source now, can the Debian QA system be updated to reflect this?
