Package: kernel-package Version: 12.036+nmu1 Severity: normal For yeras I have been compiling my kernel using a source directory and a build directory.
make O=/.../mytargetdirectory and buid own brewed script to build various drivers like nvidia. Now that nvdia proprietary driver seems to be fairly stable , I wanted to use dkms and the nvidia driver infrastructure to remove the build of the nvidia package and use debian pacakged version of nvidia driver. Unfortunately there is no way (or I missed it) to tell make-kpkg to use an O=/.../mytargetdirectory when building the kernel from source building using make-kpkg breaks the make O=/.../mytargetdirectory as it request to do a make mrproper and require root priviledge to remove the debian directory. Why not support a target_buildir option. I found now way but installing a kernel image that I do not care at all... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39.3 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii binutils 2.21.52.20110707-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii build-essential 11.5 Informational list of build-essent ii debianutils 4.0.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii file 5.04-6+b1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.18.1.1-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.81-8.1 An utility for Directing compilati ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu1 tool for managing templates file t ii util-linux 2.19.1-2 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.11-7 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: pn btrfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii bzip2 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co pn docbook-utils <none> (no description available) ii e2fsprogs 1.42~WIP-2011-07-02-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti ii grub 0.97-65 GRand Unified Bootloader (dummy pa ii grub2 1.99-8 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii jfsutils 1.1.12-2.1 utilities for managing the JFS fil ii libncurses5-dev [l 5.9-1 developer's libraries for ncurses pn linux-initramfs-to <none> (no description available) pn linux-source | ker <none> (no description available) pn mcelog <none> (no description available) pn oprofile <none> (no description available) ii pcmciautils 018-3 PCMCIA utilities for Linux 2.6 ii ppp 2.4.5-5 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - da ii procps 1:3.2.8-10 /proc file system utilities pn quota <none> (no description available) pn reiserfsprogs <none> (no description available) pn squashfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii udev 171-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo pn xfsprogs <none> (no description available) ii xmlto 0.0.23-2 XML-to-any converter -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
