Hi,
I like the subarch script. Thanks. I also like your proposal
for multiple .config files, which allows one to compile for several
architectures from the same source tree (I guess). However, I have
doscovered a flaw in the rules file you have:
______________________________________________________________________
# SILO can boot gzip'ed kernel; m68k has vmlinuz, just the kernel makefiles
# don't seem to realise it.
ifeq ($(strip $(architecture)),m68k)
gzip -9vc vmlinux > debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
else
# ********************************* ERROR***********
ifeq ($(strip $(architecture)),powerpc)
SUB=`awk '/machine/ { print $3 }' /proc/cpuinfo`
ifeq ($(strip $(SUB)),CHRP)
cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/$(SUB)boot/$(kimage) \
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
else
cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/$(kimage) \
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
endif
______________________________________________________________________
See, if the architecture is not m68k, then the first case is
taken. So, only architectures which say m68k go to the else part, so
the powerpc branch is never taken. This does not seem right. Is this
closer to what is correct?
______________________________________________________________________
# SILO can boot gzip'ed kernel; m68k has vmlinuz, just the kernel makefiles
# don't seem to realise it.
#ifneq ($(strip $(architecture)),m68k)
ifeq ($(strip $(filter m68k ppc powerpc,$(architecture))),)
cp arch/$(architecture)/boot/$(kimage) \
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
else
ifneq ($(strip $(filter ppc powerpc,$(architecture))),)
SUB=`awk '/machine/ { print $3 }' /proc/cpuinfo`
ifeq ($(strip $(SUB)),CHRP)
cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/$(SUB)boot/$(kimage) \
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
else
cp arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/$(SUBARCH)/boot/$(kimage) \
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
endif
else
gzip -9vc vmlinux > debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-$(version)
endif
endif

put to the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have
opted instead for an authoritarian system *disguised* as a Democracy.
We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it
push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there."
