background is dphys-admin and dphys-config projects, read their Logfiles at:
  http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~franklin/Projects/dphys-admin/Logfile
  http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~franklin/Projects/dphys-config/Logfile
as part of that wrote this tool to generate host optimised custom kernels
  here only log of the events pertaining to making this tool

2005.07.01 Fri
heeb discussion about making own kernels, existing, own, make-kpkg, ...
  have each host compile for its processor/SMP/RAM/etc, are fast enough
    gets rid of central compiling orgy and large number of packages
  ideal with dphys-config kernel source and .config, local optimised compiling
    .config large amount of site stuff, and .hostpost a few settings
  dphys-config be able to handle large files (such as kernel), only fetch once
to get rid of devfs drop compile option, lilo conv, inittab conv, fstab conv
  but preferably like with dphys-admin|config|etc usable for woody and sarge

2005.07.07 Thu
looking at what files are needed, not just source and .config, also patches
  existing package build is on arizona in /scratch/dphys-build/dphys-kernelgen
    analyse the stuff there, how existing build process works, what we need
  README what is to be done, at stand of 2 years ago
    includes symlinking <module>-dphys-install into each modules .tar.gz
  make clean, debclean, tidy are only various rm stuffs
  make kernels (includes make deb) does ./makekernels and ./makedebs
    ./makekernels does: tar xzf, make mrproper, cp config, Makefile extra vers
      make oldconfig, make dep, make -j 4 bzImage, install in binary/...
      make -j 4 modules, make modules_install
      for all modules do: tar xzf, ./dphys-install (inserted into module)
    ./makedebs does: ./makepackage -g, cp binary/..., cat debian/postinst
      add Conflicts: and Provides:, ./makepackage -tp
  make kernelconfig does ./makeconfig
    ./makeconfig does: tar xzf, make mrproper, cp config, Makefile extra vers
      make menuconfig, cp config back out
  ./src-kernel is the kernel used, what we need to now distribute
  ./src-modules are the patches to add, and ./src-modules/scripts do this
  ./types/new/clean is base config, to be modified for each kernel type
    ./types/* are all the modified/adapted configs, for each kernel type
      but don't seem to be derived from ./types/new/clean, too large diff
      sorting also does not solve the problem, seems to simply be way older
designing new system, possibly better full config, changes for newer kernels
  and host-type specific edit scripts which do not change
wenk discussion, regards central compiling as more reliable than on hosts
  as some overloaded hosts may have too little RAM and even too little swap

2005.07.08 Fri
designing new system, for different variants, use one complete base config
  and then modify for the other variants, so base can be pure  make oldconfig
  compare todays variants, with base = p1-1gb, ignoring added # lines
    p3-1gb: -CONFIG_M586TSC +CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII -CONFIG_X86_USE_STRING_486
      -CONFIG_X86_USE_STRING_486 -CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE +CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC
      +CONFIG_X86_PGE +CONFIG_X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM +CONFIG_X86_F00F_WORKS_OK
    p4-1gb: same but +CONFIG_MPENTIUM4 and CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT 5->7
    k7-1gb: same but +CONFIG_MK7 and CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT 5->6
      +CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW
    *-* -> *-smp-*: +CONFIG_SMP +CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32 +CONFIG_HAVE_DEC_LOCK
      +CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC +CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
    *-1gb -> *-4gb: -CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM +CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G +CONFIG_HIGHMEM
    *-4gb -> *-64gb: -CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G +CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G +CONFIG_X86_PAE
  so modifying one p1-1gb base to make all others seems to be no problem
decided to go for script running on one host, producing all packages there
  started reworking begun script to fit into this szenario, looping stuff
    done all sed .config patching up, done Makefile patching up

2005.07.14 Thu
rename to dphys-kernel-packages
looked at what Debians make-kpkg does, whether it is usefull for this project
  has already made postinst that can handle lilo and grub
  do an test compile, with config-p1-1gb, simple make-kpkg, no parameters
    just compiles the kernel and modules, no packaging
  running with buildpackage produces Debian-like kernel-image*.deb
    and kernel-source*.deb, kernel_headers*.deb and kernel_doc*.deb
    but no kernel-image*.orig.tar.gz proper source package for apt-get source
    and also no .dsc file for makesourcepackage to use for -ui
  seems to be an older system, pre apt-get source, do we still want this?
    but is less work, no making own postinst, is worth it, so use this
  extra modules, running with modules or modules_image makes packages for these
    need to make an debian/rules (not debian.rules as man page has it)
      for example alsa convert existing *-install script to an rules Makefile

2005.07.15 Fri
modules tested script, fails to install into proper place, no $(DESTDIR) set
  target kdist in docs is also wrong, should be kdist_image, docs from 1997 :-(
  no docs, go and look at debians openafs modules, how their rules file is
    openafs too complicated, get alsa modules, far simpler
  requires apparently an full debianisation of modules, rules+control+...
    with all this in place we actually get an .deb, without contents, just info
    but install target (and build) is being called, and no error messages
  make fails to assign variable, if it gets set inside recipy, must be global

2005.08.05 Fri
rerun make-kpkg, refreshed what it does, corrected recordings above
  test run, compiles kernel and makes korrect packages
  compiles alsa but makes package with only debian/* stuff, no actual stuff
    nothing from upstream installed into debian/tmp/<pkgname>
    but ist installed into debian/<pkgname>, so tmp missing somewhere
  tried with $(DESTDIR) including tmp, now only debian/* in tmp
    most likely went and cleared other stuff, but examples have no tmp anyway
  heeb thinks it is collision of woody tools and sarge style code
    so try compiling on an sarge system, moved over to dumbledore, same result
  dh_* think stuff goes in tmp instead of <pkgname>, try DH_COMPAT=3, works

2005.08.11 Thu
found some make-kpkg docs, read them, reminded that --initrd needed
  also will need --revision= to avoid the ugly 10.00.Custom name
  we will also want --append-to-version to get different /lib/modules/<vers>/*
  run  make-kpkg clear  first, also look at kernel-pkg.conf for settings
  but also no docs on actually debianising modules
further with dphys-kernel-packages script, running make-kpkg, managing modules
  debianising modules (control|copyright|changelog|rules)

2005.08.12 Fri
further with dphys-kernel-packages debianising (rules)
  test shows version missmatch (with/without extraversion), add all options
    now complains about existing version, later aborts with Permission denied
  man says that --append-to-version needs repeat, and setting VERSION_H_OK
    basically works, but still permission denied in ./configure
    MODULE_LOC empty because wrong var name, now just debian/rules missing 755
  gets to dh_testroot, complains not root, despite --rootcmd fakeroot
    use direct fakeroot, not option, works, use it so in all places
  tidy up code, add CONF_ options for setting debianising details
  fix missing append in module names, so diff kernels diff moduel names
varying debianisation for diff modules, seems only debian/rules needs change
  control and packaging stay same, upstream config/build/install can vary
  insert in debian/rules an [configure|build|install|clean]-module section

2005.08.18 Thu
fixed bug with including debian/rules fragments, now works fully
made man page, makesourcepackage -g, Makefile, config example, readme
  install, faq, index.html.en and .de symlink, .tar, debianisation control

2005.08.19 Fri
fetched all other 4 external modules and produced debian/rules fragments
  3w-9xxx had Makefile modified for old system, failed as no ${KERNEL}
    originally no Makefile, modified Makefile.oth, now script sed Makefile.oth
  Nvidia compiling(!) fails to deinstall(!) existing kernels module as non root
    switch to different make target, so that only compile and later install
  Nvidia has _ in directory name, lands in package name, not valid
    improve package name generation, from .tar.* filename, eliminate _
      diferentiate names for unpacked dir, rules fragment base and package name
   also eliminate upper case alphanumerics, Nvidia manages to have them also
added CONF_TARGETDIR and -t for in case .deb Files not wanted in source dir
test compile for p3-1gb, install on aragog, fails because woody vs sarge
  fileutils have been replaced by coreutils, make-kpkg has outdated dependency
  compile again on clearwater (fastest sarge available), aborts openafs C error

2005.08.25 Thu
senguen has installed fileutils package on aragog, kernel installed, works
fetched newest kernel and openafs 1.2 archives, test with them, works
  compiling an .bz2 kernel fails, missing 2nd rev in bz2 vs gz test
added SYS_TARGETS so that easy extension from just kernel_image
restored aragog test system to stable state, removed first test, and other mess
tidy up package naming scheme, seems kernel-image-<version>(-<app>) is fixed
  for modules use <modulename>-<version>-<kernel-version>(-<app>), for dpkg -l

2005.08.26 Fri
aragog installed new kernel and modules, works
use supermount kernel for further tests, patched kernel
  new source archive sorts before old one, so wrong one is taken
    improved heuristics for source archive selection
senguen what other modules wanted, only shfs, modularise that
  has existing debian/* files, so failled to make proper ones
  overwrite control and rules, extend changelog, leave copyright
  compiles now, but faills install, $(DESTDIR) missing despite in code
    and attempted directory to be made lacks -supermount
docs added all fragment examples made so far

2005.09.01 Thu
shfs package debian/config also lacks -supermount, same all other modules
  was kernel source Makefile, lacking  EXTRAVERSION = -supermount  in it
$(DESTDIR) missing, is already in Makefile  ROOT=  not set, rules config fails
  is $(DESTDIR) not set, is set for other modules install, here used in config
  compiles now, but -supermount is still missing in module package names
    it is correctly in Depends: and /lib/modules/*/, changed mod name computing
test run final generated stuff, p3-1gb aragog in use so run on norris, works
test compile all 9 architectures, 9*7 .debs to sarge pkg server
makesourcepackage -l, FAQ/INSTALL/index.html.en, makesourcepackage -p -ui, tar

made dphys-kernel-cputype, for dphys-admin ``, derived from senguens hack
  determined what CPUs we actually have, in hosts/*
    found we have p3-smp-4gb p4-4gb and yesterday no compile for these, added
  made man page for dphys-kernel-cputype, mentioned it in d-k-p man page
  Makefile added all stuff for these 2 files
  repackaged -l, -p, woody+sarge -ui

last weeks problems with not found packages seem to be gone
  aragog kernel-image-* visible but not installed
    dphys-kernel-packages visible and installed, mplayer-[codecs|plugin] also
replaced CONF_MAINTAINER and CONF_EMAIL w CONF_MAINT_NAME and CONF_MAINT_EMAIL
  compatible naming with altered more readable makesourcepackage

2005.09.09 Fri
add support for ICP Vortex driver, only requires CONFIG_SCSI_GDTH=y
  is already the case in heeb configs I used, so just test if it works
  tried on system, failled, wants to mount rd/0, use no root=/dev/rd/0
    but was trying to use it as boot kernel, so no harddisk, needs rd
      and for that requires missing initrd and devfs, make kernel with those
  compiling without modules directory shows bug, test for none or empty
  compiled fails to mount, so try compiling with make-kpkg --initrd also set

dphys-kernel-cputype fails to recognize Sempron, added case with k7 as output

2005.09.30 Fri
senguen tests, module compile fails, with name <module>--*.deb, not --<version>
  is because no kernel-*.deb was produced, because problem with new nv driver
  add an test if kernel-image -deb was produced and FATAL abort if not so
problem with make-kpkg packages, they ask questions while in dist-upgrade
  even worse these require "n" as answer, unlike all other stuff that wants "y"
    running  apt-get dist-upgrade  with nice yes n ist our of question
  fixing this where problem happens, in postinst ist impossible
    script is too complex (and reason for using make-kpkg)
    and no place to fix it while generating, nor replace it
      (loses entire reason for using make-kpkg)
  will need running separate kernel-image upgrade with ! line in dphys-admin
replacement for missing "need-reboot" functionality, will also need extern fix
  because also a problem with postinst, update existing dphys-reboot each time
packaged version 20050930.175657-1, changelog:
  "cputype recognize Sempron, packaging abort after broken kernel"

2005.10.06 Thu
dphys-kernel-cputype repair so that it recognizes properly
  /proc/cpuinfo fails to show mult proc while running install non-smp kernel
  /usr/bin/free fails to show full memory while running install 1gb kernel
  for both of above use lshw, which always reports all, even unused stuff
    lshw outputs running comment to /dev/tty, no option to prevent, grrr
    lshw delivers mem size MB or GB output, no option for raw bytes, fix
  updated output unknown to unknown_cpu_model

2005.10.07 Fri
dphys-kernel-packages CONF_NAMETAG to allow setting extraversion-like prefix
  before compile type, to prevent user need of unpacking source
packaged version 20051007.112516-1, changelog:
  "added name tags, after version and before variant"
reduced size of short text in modules debian/control, variant visib in dpkg -l
dphys-kernel-packages needs to set /root/need-reboot
  can not use dphys-reboot hack, because often only 1 kernel type needs reboot
    forking/fixing make-kpkg postinst is too much work (64k perl postinst)
    losing make-kpkg even more work, postinst install grub, reason for so large
so per kernel variant autogenerated kernel-reboot-version-tag-variant package
  also in each of these dependency on kernel and all modules
    so only reboot if all packages installed, and also docs what was compiled
  so start building before modules, while modules add depends, then finalise
packaged version 20051007.175455-1, changelog:
  "added variant specific kernel-reboot packages"

2005.10.13 Thu
senguen dphys-kernel-packages forgot to delete debug output from changes, fixed
senguen dphys-kernel-cputype fails to find memory size on one machine
  lshw broken there, no size: line, because a p1 machine?
    has capacity: instead of size:, size: is on most machines
    and some have both with size: right, so use size:, fallback to capacity:
  lshw also outputs running status direct to /dev/tty, not redirectable
    and also takes long, because scanning entire machine, despite -class
  alternative exists called hwinfo, also slow and output
    and memory is given as a line with multiple individual RAM parts, no sum
packaged version 20051013.103743-1, changelog:
  "bugfix removed debug leftovers, cputype workaround lshw bug"
senguen lshw has -disable to save time on unneccessary tests, so used them

man page and help updates analog to dphys3kernel

2005.12.22 Thu
changed CMD_* stuff to same new system as in dphys3

2006.01.12 Thu
heeb decided that 2.4.x troubles are mounting, and 2.6.x dropping
  time to start of looking into changing kernel versions

2006.01.13 Fr
started looking into wghat needs to be done for changing to kernel 2.6
  fetched 2.6.15 .bz2 from www.kernel.org to experiment with it
  surfed a bit experiences changing 2.4->2.6, needs totally new .config
  now only   make *config   make   make *install   like with other programs
    make dep  only error message,  make bzImage  and  make modules  still work
  requires udev at least vers 071, sarge has only 056, sid 072 to 079, rest OK
    sarge has outdated 2.6.8 kernel images, they most likely worked with 056
kernel config produced und compiled, test on hagrid, works except modules
  forgot copying them, later complains already loaded, compiled in stuff?
    checked which drivers should be modules, are, likely hotplug fetched them
  new official named p1 instead of k7, full install, complains, but works
    complains only piix and Buslogic, musst both be compiled in, for booting
  test .config extend with all stuff we have in todays production 2.4

2006.01.19 Thu
got 2.4 config from senguen, new dir for KERNEL2.6, new 2.6.15.1 from him
  revise config for 2.6, all we had in 2.4, partially correct it

2006.01.20 Fr
further revising config for 2.6, missing 2.4er stuff, compiled, works on hagrid
  also checked with pomfrey  lsmod  listing, lacks vmware and supermount, exter
config change from generic p1 to pIII, diffed .config, has new fields
  same for p4, k7, -smp, 4gb, 64gb, also vary, in particular -smp a lot
  so dphys-kernel-packages requires fixing up config processor dependant
dphys-kernel-packages added code to identify if 2.4 or 2.6 kernel being built
  testing debug code found bug in -D option,  shift 1  must be after settings

2006.01.26 Thu
difference non-smp -> smp for k7 is identical as for p1, most likely constant
  so can like in 2.4 do separate cpu and smp and memory sections
tidied up config fixing code, so that adding 2.4/2.6 does not produce an mess
  produced new 2.6 code, added DEBUG_DUMP_CONFIG like in dphys3kernel
compiled p1-1gb and k7-1gb, work on hagrid
compile k7-4g with modules (NVIDIA and vmware) for menhit
  fails in NVIDIA conftest.sh for rivafb, test defective, fails make-kpkg paths
  also faills vmware, because .o -> .ko name, dirs different, rules don't fit
compiled an 2.4 to compile vmware dir layout, to make common rules file
  all upgraded drives tried zo make multiple versions, move old to .old dir

2006.01.27 Fr
test run with vmware 2.6-only rules and newest nvida driver
  vmware 2.6-only works, but newest downloaded nvidia driver still fails
  made vmware combined version, look into how to fix nvidias broken test
  fixed rivafb and nvidiafb tests, now fails to find patchlevel
    seems to be something seriously broken with make-kpkg build environment

2006.02.16 Thu
further attempts to fix nvidias broken external modules stuff
  replace make with one without target name, as noticed in new versions README
    now no test complaints, but complains of no nvidia.o file
  next test without any conftest.sh modifications, same result
  duplicated make call without recompile, debian/rules is running ok
    is nvidia Makefile which is simply doing nothing, not compiling anything
    all: install
      install: package-install
        package-install: module-install rmmod-sanity-check
          module-install: suser-sanity-check module
            module: $(TGT)   # TGT = stprof  or  TGT = mdl
              mdl: gcc-sanity-check rivafb-sanity-check nvidiafb-sanity-check
                make "CC=$(CC)" $(KBUILD_PARAMS) modules
                  KBUILD_PARAMS contains  -C $(KERNEL_SOURCES) SUBDIRS=$(PWD)
      then runs linux Makefile with  SUBDIRS=  to module
        there  KBUILD_EXTMOD ?= $(SUBDIRS)
      in end should produce nvidia.ko (after finding what in makefile???)
  was using auto-updated 2.6.15.4, so fall back to 2.6.15.1, to compare
    doing so fetched .gz archive, dphys-kernel-packages fails on not .bz2, fix
      added  set -e  while doing this fix
    same result as 2.6.15.4, but repeating make by hand old conftest.sh bugs

2006.02.17 Fri
unpack nvidia software newly, retry make, still fails
  seems that first make (by kernel compile) modifies something in linux
    re-make-ing after killing marker then fails with can not determine type
      despite the type test (as left after first make) should work, broken
  heeb discussion about trouble here, do we need this driver
    decided that we could produce an own kernel patch from nvidia source
    but nvidia is only test module, card in 2 of 150 machines (same 1 ati)
      becuase traditional matrox fails to work newer machines, look replacement
    so for 2.6 upgrade irrelevant, after that test both, working becomes policy
      drop further investigations here, get on with 2.6 upgrade stuff
packaged version 20060217.133822-1, changelog:
  "added kernel 2.6 support"

2006.04.06 Thu
extend to support separate K8 kernel packages
  dphys-kernel-cputype simple enable the commented out lines
  dphys-kernel-packages add config modes, look what is needed for them
    2.6 works, but 2.4 leaves as k7, use changes analog to 2.6
    fixed missing test for if modules directory defined (syntax error if not)
  2.4 and 2.6 both compile, give to senguen for test
    updated compile list to include k8, remove unused false k7 combinations

2006.06.01 Thu
senguen reports that 2 hosts failled on dphys-kernel-cputype memory size
  are ones with missing size:, fallback onto capacity:
    capacity: seems to be max pluggable, not what is actually there
  but also are hosts with multiple *-memory sections, because of flash
    use always the first one, hope this is always main memory
packaged version 20060601.153003-1, changelog:
  "bugfix when lshw muliple *-memory sections (main and flash)"

2006.08.11 Fri
added all "packaged version ????????.??????-?, changelog:" lines

2006.10.19 Thu
rework for separate upstream and Debian maintainer, only .tar.gz release
  reworked and updated documentation, FAQ, INSTALL, README, index.html.en
    remove FAQ and INSTALL and index.html.en references to my old packages
    index.html.en added existance of dphys-kernel-cputype and its man page
  remove old debian/ so that senguen can make proper debianisation
    debian/changelog is all info duplicated in this Logfile, deleted it
    debian/control is just wget depends and docu text, add to other docs
    debian/copyright is same as in README, deleted it
    debian/dphys-config.docs is nothing, deleted it
    debian/rules has nothing specific, deleted it
  updated man pages, reworked text
set new systematic PATH=, removed all absolute paths in commands
uses ./${PNAME} config file, can collide with install as ./${PNAME}
  put in an test if recursive call to self, else endless recursion
checking for  cut -f  test that can fail if separator missing
  while doing so added test if kernel is 2.4 or 2.6
  also test if demanded variant is malformed (no - in it)
adding "${var}" quoting, need better way, make automated quoting check
  also apply this to dphys-config and dphys-swapfile

2006.10.20 Fri
adding "${var}" quoting, and echo "some test" and ${CMD_..} "some text"
  also VAR="" and [] tests with "${}" instead of x${}
    lshw "${SPEEDUP}" with SPEEDUP= multiple options fails, without ""
    same make-kpkg "${SYS_USEINITRD}" and "${SYS_K_TARGETS}", without ""
  dphys-kernel-cputype simpler GB->MB conversion arithmetic
no shell functions, so no keyword function to remove
no echo -e, so no need to replace with printf
test against recursive call has to be 2 separate ifs, grep inside [ ] fails
  may be just quoting, but simpler to just have 2 separate ifs
make-kpkg now runs, compiles, but then no .deb generated
  tried adding debug options, now silently dies after .config diff

2006.10.26 Thu
is the return value of diff that kills set -e, secure it with || true, now runs
still message that no kernel generated, despite compile done
  .deb file is actually there, is test for file that fails
  is due to adding "", giving  VARKERNELDEB="${VARWORKDIR}"/kernel-image-*.deb
    can't find anything fitting kernel-image-*.deb like this
  put in an `echo ...`, like the `ls ...` in all other 4 "${VAR}"/name-*.ext
    in all of those the ls is needed, to get one filename per line
    in this last/5th case echo is good enough, as only 1 file there
while at making fixes, also defanged quoting bugs in the 2 for statements
  one variable of config statements, like preproc list in dphys-config, do same
  other just an ${MODULESDIR}/*.tar.*, simple "${MODULESDIR}"/*.tar.* is OK
put in test if non-base-install commands are here, else abort with clear error
  test for fakeroot make-kpkg make dh_*
  also add remarks to README FAQ INSTALL index.html.en and the man page
    improved also man page docs on how to use dphys-kernel-cputype
dphys-kernel-cputype man page added remarks about needing lshw
  also in FAQ INSTALL README dphys-kernel-cputype.1
deleted old test data, 2 .config files for 2.4 and 2.6, host lists
examples newer module .rules, add .config files, additional to 2.4 also 2.6
  because of this moved from rules.examples to 2.[46].example
  also added the 2 2.[46].example direcrories to index.html.en
