Hi Ben, A big thank you for taking care! Some notes and questions from here and IRC: [1] Dropped perf-UI support A wise decision for know. Yes, I have libgtk2.0-dev installed on my Debian/testing box. ( This mammoth should be a Build-Depends when enabling perf-UI (Have fun!). ) [2] [PATCH] perf: Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files (sent to upstream) Thanks for the patch (see [1]). Is the misbehaviour with "/usr/include/perf.h" provided by firebird-dev package gone with that patch? Should firebird-dev rename its "perf.h" to something like "firebird_perf.h" to avoid such a misbehaviour? [3] Repacking Linux vanilla source now obsolete Thanks, this was really appreciated (see [2])! [ debian/bin/genorig.py (r19335) ] [CODE] Line #105: match = re.match(r'(^|.*/)(?P<dir>linux-\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)?(-\S+)?)\.tar(\.(?P<extension>(bz2|gz)))?$', input_tar) [CODE] It is possible to get xz-tarball support (currently bzip2 or gzip)? Or to go a step further, what about an xz-compressed linux-tools orig-tarball? Here from my generated tarball (sizes in KiB): $ tar -xf linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.gz $ tar -c --xz -f linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.xz linux-tools-3.5/ $ du -k *.orig* 9280 linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.gz 6316 linux-tools_3.5.orig.tar.xz Approx. 3MiB should be a good reason :-)? Note: The default compression-level of xz is "-6" and "-9" is maximum (see man xz). [4] Debian-Kernel Wiki There is a different handling of linux-2.6/linux-kbuild-2.6 VS. linux/linux-tools. Hector (zumbi) pointed to this already in [3]. Dunno, might be worth to write a separate Email on this topic? ( Just fell over this when people asked me for integration of my Mini-Howto, see [4]. ) Kind Regards, - Sedat - References: [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134542880500616&w=2 [2] http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-tools/debian/bin/genorig.py?r1=19335&r2=19334 [3] http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage [4] http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage#The_story_of_linux-kbuild-2.6 > Ben. > > -- > Ben Hutchings > The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere. - Anne Morrow Lindberg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
