Package: linux-source-3.2 Version: 3.2.35-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy and using TuxOnIce hibernation system, I installed the Wheezy's linux-source-3.2 package, and build a cusom kernel following recommendations as in : http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-building (I used to do this also on my Squeeze system). I applied the TuxOnIce and RT patches, copy the config of the Debian package linux-image-3.2.0-rt-amd64, done a 'make oldconfig' to answer new config about TOI, and run the compilation with : time ionice -c 3 nice env KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u" make -j 3 KDEB_PKGVERSION=3.2-3.2.35-2 KERNELRELEASE=3.2-rt-toi deb-pkg After a while, I get a debian package, but with a huge size, about 500 MB, whereas official Debian is about 20 MB ! It seems the modules are built with symbols. Looking around on the web, I saw people telling to look at CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO config parameter, and it's actually set : $ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO .config CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is not set But it's also set in the official Debian configs : $ grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO /boot/config-3.2.0-4-* /boot/config-3.2.0-4-amd64:CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y /boot/config-3.2.0-4-amd64:# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is not set /boot/config-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64:CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y /boot/config-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64:# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is not set What should I do to get a 'standard size' Debian package ? Disable this parameter in the kernel config ? Or doing an action / setup I forgot ?
