<h3>Project Basics</h3>
This project is aimed at automatically making
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> packages containing custom
kernels and external modules for these. All of these in many variants
optimised for different processor, SMP and memory size configurations.
<p>
This project has produced an <a href="dphys-kernel-packages">
dphys-kernel-packages</a> script which generates variant config files and
then invokes make-kpkg on each of them for the kernel and for all external
modules the user wants. For external modules the user must provide Makefile
fragments for including into the generated debian/rules file, for the
module specific compilation process. It also generates for each kernel an
fitting reboot package that can be used to force
<a href="../dphys-admin/">dphys-admin</a> to reboot the system after
install/upgrade of the kernel.
<p>
It has also produced an <a href="dphys-kernel-cputype">
dphys-kernel-cputype</a> script which detects at install time which
generated set of kernel and module packages to install on a given system.
<p>
This project was spawned from the <a href="../dphys3/">dphys3 project</a>,
aimed at automating our site setup. <a href="../dphys3/">dphys3</a> itsself
sets up the base system, then the custom kernels form here are installed by
<a href="../dphys-admin/">dphys-admin</a>.
