Introduction to dphys-kernel-packages kernel package generator for Debian
systems
Aim
This program is aimed at automatically generating an range of custom kernel
config files for various processors, SMP and memory size variants, and the
fitting needed external modules, and packages all of these as .deb packages
for easy installation.
Preconditions
This program only works on Debian machines, as it uses various Debian tools, in
particular multiple of dh_* (in debhelper) and make-kpkg (in kernel-package).
It also uses some standard tools such as make and fakeroot and lshw. It
requires only an simple base (Pentium 1, no SMP, <1G memory) kernel config
file, an short per-module compilation recipe (an Makefile fragment), and the
various source archives.
Tools
This project has produced an script for generating variant kernel config files
and then compiling fitting kernels and their modules.
Code
This project is fully open source. Documentation gets written together with the
code. Everything I write is immediately available for download. Current version
is what I am working on, if I write a bug you crash the next day. Older stable
versions are archived as Milestones.
State
Working package, in productive use on over 100 machines.
Installation
