Yes, several of them (2.6.8-rc2 currently). All using make-kpkg --revision <date> kernel-image Note though that for some reason make-kpkg no longer runs clean first and will not rebuild a modified configuration, just reinstall into the package. If you change configuration and need to recompile you need to either run make-kpkg clean or run make and then run make-kpkg again after the new parts have been built. > I have now built a 2.6.6 and a 2.6.7 using make_kpkg.
