Hello, ... I am packaging unicorn :
unicorn - Kernel modules for the Bewan ADSL PCI st modem The upstream source come with a make file enabling to build it from only the kernel-headers, without there really being a need for the kernel-sources (in particular, it is a standalone tarball, not a patch to be used with kernel-package, and as thus, i don't use the dh_make kernel module option, but am doing a single binary package). Ok, now to my actual question : I have to build depend on kernel-headers, and the resulting binary does depend on the corresponding kernel-image. I have a makefile variable at the top of debian/rules, which i add as a substvar for dh_gencontrol, and it generates the depend line correctly. The problem is with the build depends, as i have no way of doing this same substitution before dpkg-buildpackage checks for the build depends. Is this possible ? Ideally, i would build depend on kernel-headers-2.4, and have a option that i can pass to debian/rules which would detect what kernel-headers package provide this and set the kernel version accordyingly. Is this a better solution ? How do other module packages handle this, do someone know at a good such package i could use as example ? Friendly, Sven Luther
