Dear Sven, > Jens, in your discussion with Manoj about this, where would the > generic-powerpc or whatever script reside ?
in my proposal, 'generic' or 'official' would be a separate PowerPC subarch that a) packages the kernel as an uncompressed ELF image file in /boot/vmlinux-<revision>-<flavour> and nothing else, b) packages the bootloading glue for pmac, chrp and prep into the directory /usr/lib/kernel-image-<revision>-<flavour>, c) takes provisions to apply the correct glue in the postinst. Right now, a) and b) are implemented in the debian/rules file of kernel-patch-powerpc, by building an intermediate pmac kernel-image package, unpacking it, and making the necessary changes. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe! Le veux aimeb et mqubib panz je pézqbpbe je djuz tqtaj!
