I have targeted this version for squeeze. For lenny, I have no plans and would suggest you to stick with the version shipped in lenny. Patches are welcome though. > iscsitarget-source does the following: > > kdist_config: prep-deb-files > > # ... additional kernel specific things to configure... > > > > test -f patches/compat-$(KERN_VER).patch && patch -p1 < > > > > patches/compat-$(KERN_VER).patch > > The test && patch construct is not fully correct, as you have to apply ALL > compatibility patches between the desired target version and the version, > iscsitargt compiles with without patch. I am not sure what you mean here. Squeeze will ship with 2.6.32. KERN_VER will detect it and will accordingly assign itself the value 2.6.32. If you will be running squeeze with the supported kernel, iscsitarget will apply the correct patch. > For example to be able to produce a working kernel module for 2.6.26 you > have to apply the following patches: > > compat-2.6.32.patch > compat-2.6.31.patch > compat-2.6.30.patch > compat-2.6.29.patch > compat-2.6.28.patch > compat-2.6.25-2.6.27.patch > > So some sort of loop would be needed... As I said, I have no plans for lenny in this upload but am open to patches. BTW, how do you conclude that it needs all patches and not just compat-2.6.25-2.6.27.patch ? -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs "Necessity is the mother of invention."
