kernel-package (6.05) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* This fixes a bug introduced in the previous upload to frozen, in the
handling of the new extraversion. Most of the changes are bug fixes,
there is no new code.
* Tightened the reg exp for determining the extraversion to ignore
whitespace. Use builtin strip to remove leading and trailing
space. fixes: BUG#32457
* If the changelog exists, use it to guess at the debian version (this is
merely setting the default value). If there is no changelog, the
default is still 1.00.
* If the .config file exists, use that to guess the subarch for intel
platforms.
* Install debian/rules if it does not exist, regardless of
stamp-configure or debian/official. fixes: BUG# 31823.

kernel-package (6.03) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* This update fixes a release critical bug, and only includes bug fixes
since the previous version in frozen, apart from making the package
2.2.X ready (mostly EXTRAVERSION support). I strongly feel that this
should be allowed in frozen, even in deep freeze.
* Added an option arch_in_name to ask kernel package to embedd the sub
architecture in the kernel image name (this reverses the default of
always embedding the arch in the name). Note that only the image
package _name_ is affected. fixes: BUG#31972
* The new Power macs report themselves as Power Macintoshes rather than
PwerMac's. Changed reg expression to allow either. fixes: BUG#32262
* Also install NET_MISC_MODULES modules. fixes: BUG#31934, BUG#31936
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 22 Jan 1999 09:29:15 -0600
kernel-package (6.02) unstable; urgency=low
* Make kernel-doc-XXX now suggest kernel-image-=V=SA(that is, now we
include the architecture string that kernel-image packages may
optionally have. fixes: Bug#30291
* The EXTRAVERSION support in the NMU fixes: BUG#31290, BUG#31331, BUG#31444
* Added docuemntation about more variables in the makefile, namely, the
locations of the modules, patches, and configuration files, and how
one may modify the defaults.

-- Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> Tue, 29 Dec 1998 20:02:24 -0800
kernel-package (6.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for netwinders. closes: BUG#29333
* Modified modules support to not assume everything in /usr/src/modules
is a directory.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 25 Nov 1998 01:39:43 -0600
kernel-package (5.13) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed setting email address for modules. closes: BUG#29217
* Made it possible to set the subarch to be different from the one one
is on (as long as the subarch being set is a valid sub arch of the
current architecture). This should help the ppc folks.
* Added to the module compilation documentation by incorporating part of
the pcmcia-source documentation. This should hopefully make compiling
stand-alone modules easier to compile
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 9 Nov 1998 18:12:23 -0600
kernel-package (5.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Add things to the changelog file for the sub packages. Also, fix a
trailing space problem from the rules file that affected the ppc
folks. closes: Bug#28535

-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 16 Oct 1998 13:54:35 -0500
kernel-package (5.10) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Add the variable KDREV to pass the debian revision to the modules
while compiling.
* Added powerpc fixes from Hartmut Koptein <koptein@et-inf.fho-emden.de>
These were needed to have things work at all.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 16 Oct 1998 12:37:39 -0500
kernel-package (5.09) unstable; urgency=high
* Fixed missing / on a pattern match,. This essentially hosed
make-kpkg. closes: Bug#27937
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 14 Oct 1998 16:29:27 -0500
kernel-package (5.08) unstable; urgency=low
* Added documentation of the tecra kernel issue in the README.
* Added README.tecra as astandalone file documenting the tecra laptop
issue.
* Added README.modules to document the way that addon modules may hook
into the kernel package and be kept compiled in synchrony with new
kernel compilations.
* Documented the fact that Flavours should be all lower case to meet the
strictures of the Packaging manual. closes: BUG#26843
* Added default values to prompts in kernel-packageconfig, since the
prompts were most unplesaing. closes: BUG#27289
* Fixed the dir modules are installed in to honour the flavour
setting. closes: BUG#27311
* Fixed typo in postinst. closes: Bug#25749
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 14 Oct 1998 01:04:29 -0500
kernel-package (5.07) unstable; urgency=low
* Make the long description for kernel-source emphasize the need to get
bin86.
* Fixed a typo in the rules file that created the wrong symlink on
sparcs. closes: BUG#26790
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 17 Sep 1998 10:28:23 -0500
kernel-package (5.06) unstable; urgency=low
* Use tweo $ signs to protect shell variable in rules. Affected m68k and
powerpc archs.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 11 Sep 1998 12:36:15 -0500
kernel-package (5.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix documentation about using the rootcmd option. closes: BUG#25566
* fixed source postinst so it no longer expects an untarred
/usr/src/kernel-source-VERSION directory. closes: BUG#25650, 26511
* allow clean to work even if .config does not exist. closes: BUG#26265
* Fix case in the name of the Flavours file. closes: BUG#26434
* Made the images go into $(IMAGE_DESTDIR), which defaults to
/boot. This can now be set by loadlin folks in the config file to
whatever they wish. Also changed the postinst to not freak out when
the image apparently goes missing.
* Added the support for different config files depending on architecture
and sub arch. A set of config files for different archs are shipped in
/usr/lib/kernel-package/Config/. This is useful for people who compile
for several architectures.
* Major cleanup and rewrite for mutiarchitecture support. All arch
related stuff is catured in a section on top. There is no need to edit
it into the kernel makeile, we can now determine subarchs ourselves.
* Also pass along the maintainers email address while compiling the
modules, not just the name.
* Make sure that sparcs use the vmlinux file, and gzip it. This
closes: BUG#26199
* Cleaned up the modules installation part. Now it conforms more closely
to the kernel makefile, and indeed, it uses the kernel Makefile for
the newer kernles where the module install path is modifiable using
the new INSTALL_MOD_PATH variable.

kernel-package (5.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Backed out of System.map changes introduced in 5.02 since the patch
provided was fauly. reimplemented the system.map installation. This
closes: Bug#24845
* Fixed the ifneq statement. Again, this was due to misapplied fixes for
the alpha. closes: Bug#24780
* Fixed typo in kernel image preinst. closes: Bug#24766
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 23 Jul 1998 01:20:40 -0500
kernel-package (5.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied numerous spelling corrections and punctuation fixes from
Nathan E Norman <finn@midco.net>.
* Make kernel-source packages suggest bin86, and mention in the
description that this is only applicable to Intel architectures.
* Added documentation to make-kpkg, and its man page, to point to
/usr/doc/kernel-package. I, too, have doubts about the efficacy of
this step.
* Tighten the regular expression that snag the kernel version and
sublevel information. closes: BUG#24629
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 17 Jul 1998 12:40:09 -0500
kernel-package (5.02) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed the pre rm warning message while removing a image mentioned in
the boot loader config file to be more explicit. closes: BUG#23423
* Make sure that we do not try to install the loader docs or the
System.map if they do not exist. closes: BUG#23800
* use dpkg --print-installation-architecture in the post inst.
closes: BUG#24207
* Added an preinst script for kernel images so that we do not overwrite
the modules file gratuitously.
* Added more documentation about kernel-package, as there were
complaints that it was not advertized at all.
* Modified the README.headers file to reflect reality.
* Added a subarch option to make-kpkg for the alpha people.
closes: BUG#24147
* This version should compile on the alpha as well. closes: 23143
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 14 Jul 1998 16:08:00 -0500
kernel-package (5.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Added rudimentary support for the alpha. Please note that locations of
the image may change in the future.
* No longer ship unpacked sources in kernel-source-VERSION
packages. This makes sure that dpkg can handle removal gracefully, and
people may unpack the sources where they wish.
* Fixed typo in make-kpkg -help, closes: BUG#23276
* Documented --flavours argument of make-kpkg, which should bring the
man page uptodate. closes: BUG#23280
* Doh! A dangling symlink does not return true on an -e test; a valid
symlink does! Fixed error on logic that made dangling sym links cause
kernel-image packages to fail. closes: BUG#23273
* make the process not error out when there is no config.precious
file.

the headers required by libc6, but kernel-headers does.
* Brought the headers README up to date.
* Make the kernel-image suggest SILO on the sparcs rather than LILO.
Made a series of changes for sparc architecture machines. Since the

kernel-package (3.61) unstable; urgency=low
* There were bugs in 3.60, which are fixed in this release. Since the
changes since pre-3.60 are so drastic, I am including the changelog
entry again (as most people shall not see 3.60)
* Fixed copyright files for all generated packages. This is one lintian
warning less to worry about
* This is a major change in the source/header packages. In architectures
different from i386, `kernel-headers-*' and `kernel-source-*' are
incompatible. This also has an effect on libc6-dev, which depends on
kernel-headers-2.0.3x | kernel-source-2.0.3x, which is only true on
i386 architectures. One possible solution would be to make libc6-dev
depend on kernel-headers-2.0.32, but that won't work because
kernel-source provides kernel-headers. In fact, since kernel-headers
are arch dependent, but kernel-source is arch: all, kernel-source-*
should not provide kernel-header* at all.
Once kernel source stops providing kernel-header*, and libc6-dev
depends on kernel-headers-2.0.32 and links /usr/include/{linux,asm} to
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.32 (nor /usr/src/linux-2.0.32) things
would work again in a Multi arch compatible fashion.
Hence, now kernel-source-* packages compiled with this kernel-package
shall not provide any sort of kernel-headers. For the sake of
backwards compatibility, /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks are still
being provided (as people may upload newer kernels while keeping an
older libc6-dev around, which depends on /usr/src/linux-2.0.32.
However, I have been badgered enough about this that I shall remove
the /usr/src/linux-$version symlinks at some point. This version no
longer registers stuff in /usr/src/.linux-versions, and is no longer
as paranoid about /usr/src/linux; but it does not outright remove
those files either, so as not to cause people with older kernels
having a problem during removal.As soon as it is deemed permissible,
we shall get less paranoid about /usr/src/linux-$version as well.

* Added SUBARCH, which is used to distinguish Amiga, Atari, Macintosh,
etc. kernels for Debian/m68k, and may well be required for the alpha,
from what I hear. Unlike the FLAVOURS variable, which affects
everything it can lay its grubby hands on (kernel image, headers,
source, doc package versions, and where the modules are looked for
under /lib/modules), this only affects the naming of the kernel-image
as the source and doc packages are architecture independent and the
kernel-headers do not vary from one sub-architecture to the
next. These changes are courtesy of James Troup <J.J.Troup@scm.brad.ac.uk>

always exist, no matter what. Apparently, upgrading from
kernel-source-2.0.32_2.0.32-1 to kernel-source-2.0.32_2.0.32-3 does
not create /usr/src/linux-<version>, which breaks libc6-dev.

thanks to Thomas Kocourek <tko@westgac3.dragon.com> for noticing

* Document all the above. closes:Bug#14539
* Make sure that the copyright file for the kernel-doc package is not

custom kernels. This fixes BUG#14067.

kernel-package (3.41) unstable; urgency=low
* Handle obsolete /System.map and /System.old links left around by older
kernel-package packages. All the programs that look at the information
in the map files (including top, ps, and klogd) also will look at
/boot/System.map-<version>, we just need to ensure that that file is
present, and no longer require the symbolic link.
Actually, having the symbolic link in / is technically detrimental
(apart from cluttering up /); many programs, though looking in /boot,
still allow /System.map to override. If you use LILO to choose between
multiple kernels, then the /System.map symbolic link only applies to
one such kernel, for all other choices the symbols loaded will be
wrong. Not having the symbolic links at all prevents this.
Therefore, the new image.postinst file shall offer to remove the
symbolic links in /. This should fix BUG#13359

* Fixed handling of modules.dep in the image.postinst. We do not attempt
to recreate a modules.dep, since the man page admits the file so

problems loading modules into the kernel until reboot iff the version
being installed is the same as the version currently running.

kernel-package (3.37) unstable; urgency=low
* No longer create a System.map symlink in /, since that may confuse
klogd when choosing kernel images using LILO. Since top, ps, and klogd
look at /boot/System.map-<version>, we just need to make sure that
file is present. This makes us friendlier to multiple images of the
same kernel version.
* No longer redirect output to a file in /tmp for security reasons (we
use a log file in /var/log instead). This fixes BUG#11765,
BUG#11766 and BUG#11847
* Added support for different flavours of the same kernel version for
people who need them. This is based on the ideas and work of Bill
Mitchell <mitchell@mozcom.com> and Noel Maddy <ncm@biostat.hfh.edu>.
This should make us fully compliant to having multiple flavours of the
same kernel version.
* Added dependencies to targets in rules. Now things should work as
expected if one edits a .config file.

* All kernel packages produced now list the version of kernel-package
used in the file /usr/doc/Buildinfo. This is a bit of a Hack.
* The image prerm will allow you to remove an running kernel image and
hose your system. You will be warned. (under protest).
* Added a variable to choose a no symlink option, which puts the real
images in /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, not symlinks (similarly for
System.map). This makes it potentially less useful, since unless other
action is taken one would have only two images on the machine at the
time. This has been added for people who use file systems that do not
implement symlinks.
* Added a variable to ask for reverse symlinks, that is, vmlinuz is the
real file, vmlinuz-2.0.30 is the link. This also restricts the system
to two image files unless the user save a copy, added for people with
boot on umsdos (can't see symlinks in dos mode) but who want the links
to see what the image versions are in Linux. Mutually exclusive with
the no symlink option. (apart from the symlinks, it is identical to
the no symlink option). These should fix Bug#11395.

least version 1.4.0.9., since dpkg-gencontrol fails with an error:
failure: chown new files list file: Illegal seek
This fixes BUG#10121.
* Added problems with older versions of dpkg-dev to the problems file.

kernel-package (3.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Tested with 2.0.30 and 2.1.40.
* Moved config to /boot, where it arguably should have gone to in the
first place. The /boot directory contains other information pertinent
to the kernel, such as the System.map file, and the psdatabase. The
information about exactly what was configured into the kernel was
missing, and it can get quite critical on some machines. Also, the
config file may serve as a base for compiling the next kernel. This
file is not really a configuration file (not when packaged as part of
the kernel-image package), hence it does not belong in /etc (no amount
of changing this file will have any affect on system behaviour).

kernel-package (3.29) unstable; urgency=low
* Kernel-image and kernel-doc now suggest each other.
* Also recognize powerpc as a synonym for ppc in determining whether
we use zImage or bzImage by default.
* Fixed up some typos in documentation
* Added rules target kernel_doc. This fixes BUG#9138
* Also install .config file under /usr/doc. This fixes BUG#9298
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 2 May 1997 14:34:51 -0500
kernel-package (3.28) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* No longer install text files in the modules directory, since depmod
in modutils-2.1.34 fails when it finds a non-ELF file in modules
directory. This fixes Bug#9243.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 30 Apr 1997 15:24:51 -0500
kernel-package (3.27) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Really add in all the changes sent in by Herbert Xu. The changes are:
* Changed to source package name back to kernel-source-=V again.
* Changed the installs to be without -o root -g root since it is no
longer useful as the chowns are done before the packages are built. It
also means that if it is used in targets like stamp-configure which may
be run by anyone it won't not generate an error.
* Made rules file generate the control file.
* Fixed some typos in chown commands while generating the header
packages.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 21 Apr 1997 15:12:19 -0500
kernel-package (3.26) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Made the default image for ppc architecture zImage. This fixes Bug#8696 .
* Forgot to mention that the source package for the kernel packages
(produced by make-kpkg buildpackage, for example) has been changed to
not contain the kernel version as part of the name (all the deb files
produced have not changed), so we now get kernel-image-xxx_yy_zz.deb,
kernel-source-xxx_yy_zz.deb, and kernel-headers-xxx_yy_zz.deb, along
with kernel-source.tar.gz and kernel-source_yy.diff.gz
* Added config dependencies for module targets
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 18 Apr 1997 00:53:24 -0500
kernel-package (3.25) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Added changes sent in by the kernel packages maintainer.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sun, 13 Apr 1997 00:03:36 -0500
kernel-package (3.24) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixed a bash 2.0 inconsistency
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 9 Apr 1997 13:33:58 -0500
kernel-package (3.23) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixed typos in rules for generating external modules
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 9 Apr 1997 12:41:45 -0500
kernel-package (3.22) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Documented constraints on the debian revision field. This is important
enough that I am reproducing the text of the admonition here.
The revision number (the argument supplied after the --revision flag)
has certain constraints: it may contain only alphanumerics and the
characters + . (full stop, and plus) and should contain a digit.
NOTE: No hyphens allowed. (Look at Chapter 5 of the Programmers manual
for details)
This is because dpkg imposes an ordering on version numbers, so that
it can tell whether packages are being up or downgraded and so that
dselect can tell whether a package it finds available is newer than
the one installed on the system.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 4 Apr 1997 11:48:42 -0600
kernel-package (3.21) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Tested source package creation for 2.1.30
* set umask to copy the kernel source files untainted by package creators
umask.
* set umask to copy the kernel header files untainted by package creators
umask.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 1 Apr 1997 11:04:42 -0600
kernel-package (3.20) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Could not reproduce BUG#8274, neither could the original reporter. I have
made some changes in the postinst to allow leading whitespace in the
user responses, and tested it on three different kernel-source
versions. I believe this bug is fixed now (I have 3 suitable boot
floppies as evidence).
* image postinst no longer aborts when the user gives up on formatting a
floppy, but now offers a choice to proceed with a preformatted floppy.
* Fixed spelling errors in kernel image postinst, fixing BUG#8409
* Offer to user superformat if it exists.
* Tested boot floppy creation.
* Tested on 2.0.29, 2.1.29, and 2.1.30
* Spell check the Problems file, mention setfdprm in there.
* Mention setfdprm in postinst if fail to format floppy.
* Fix a typo in code determining which floppy drive to use
* Allow leading whitespace in responses
* Added required packages to the README file.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sun, 23 Mar 1997 22:53:13 -0600
kernel-package (3.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Tested again on 2.1.27 kernel.
* Added correct Handling for ipv6 modules in rules file
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 1 Mar 1997 13:52:15 -0600
kernel-package (3.18) unstable; urgency=high
* Successfully compiled a 2.1.27 kernel.
* Made make-kpkg not look for modules directory; that directory is
removed by a make-kpkg clean.
* Mentioned that ncurses-dev is required for make menuconfig in the
README file.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 22 Feb 1997 23:36:30 -0600
kernel-package (3.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Stupid @#$%$%@! vi changed Feb to February in the changelog messing up
gencontrol.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 17 Feb 1997 19:29:02 -0600
kernel-package (3.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Started compiling a list of known problems with compiling kernel images.
This is now available as /usr/doc/kernel-package/Problems.
* Moved to standards version 2.1.2.2.
* Removed extra root checks in the rules file.
* Added error messages to failed root check in the rules file.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 13 Feb 1997 14:40:41 -0600
kernel-package (3.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed kernel rules file so that one does not depend on the existence of
modules. This fixes BUG#6898.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 28 Jan 1997 22:15:27 -0600
kernel-package (3.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Made image.postinst conform to standards version 2.1.2.2.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 27 Jan 1997 09:09:37 -0600
kernel-package (3.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Silly typo in postinst (never code when sleepy).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 27 Jan 1997 00:56:48 -0600
kernel-package (3.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Added more injunction to run make-kpkg clean regularly
* Remove /lib/modules/$version/modules.dep if it exists. Recreate
immediately with depmod -a. This will help reinstall the same kernel
version more than once.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 27 Jan 1997 00:38:59 -0600
kernel-package (3.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Added suggestions for fdutils and LILO for the kernel_image package.
* Fixed typo in include.postinst. Fixes BUG#6692.
* Added warnings about possible (recent?) failure to autodetect floppy
drives if using old fdformat from miscutils while creating a boot disk.
This addresses BUG#6037.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 20 Jan 1997 12:03:31 -0600
kernel-package (3.10) unstable; urgency=low
* *ALERT*. Changed how customization variables are handled. All
variables are given reasonable (IMHO) defaults. Then the site
customization file /etc/kernel-pkg.conf is read in, which can
over-ride the defaults. THEN, the environment/command line variables
are used to over-ride the values.
* New env variables: KPKG_MAINTAINER, KPKG_EMAIL, IMAGE_IN_BOOT,
IMAGE_TYPE
* new customization variables: kimage, image_in_boot
* Edited README to give bare bones documentation for user customizable
vars.
* Added man page kernel-pkg.conf.5.
* Normalized existing man pages according to the templates floating
around on the list.
* Added copyright statements to the man pages.
* Documented changes in make-kpkg
* Added --bzimage option to make-kpkg for completeness.
* Added a --zimage option to make-kpkg, (with support in the rules file),
to make a zImage kernel rather than a bzImage kernel (the default).
Useful for people having problems with bzImage kernels. Suggested by
Richard G. Roberto <richr@Bear.COM>
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 7 Jan 1997 12:44:00 -0600
kernel-package (3.09) unstable; urgency=low
* Added documentation to the effect that make-kpkg is part of
kernel-package in various READMEs.
* Made the final location of vmlinuz configurable (since one may have
it under /boot as well as /).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 2 Jan 1997 11:27:06 -0600
kernel-package (3.08) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a man page for internal script kernel-packageconfig. This fixes
BUG#6304.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 1 Jan 1997 22:02:03 -0600
kernel-package (3.07) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo in kernel image postinst script
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sun, 29 Dec 1996 23:40:31 -0600
kernel-package (3.06) unstable; urgency=low
* Allow local configuration of the destination of all kernel related
deb file (the default remains ..). Now one can set it to directories
like ../kernel-deb or /boot/archive/deb or whatever by setting the
variable DEB_DEST in the conf file.
* Offer user a choice about floppy drive to use. Also make it explicit
which floppy drive is being used. This fixes BUG#6037.
* Warn Intel users that they should get bin86 as well, if they intend
to compile a custom kernel. This fixes BUG#6144.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 27 Dec 1996 18:09:51 -0600
kernel-package (3.05) unstable; urgency=low
* The package needs dpkg-gencontrol to do any work whatsoever, so it
should depend on dpkg-dev, instead of merely recommending it.
This fixes BUG#6040.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 21 Dec 1996 01:54:01 -0600
kernel-package (3.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dpkg (>= 1.4) to the dependencies, since older versions do
not understand the new dpkg --build syntax. This fixes BUG#6041
* Fixed target modules config in kernel/rules. This fixes BUG#5836
* Latest default kernel config file
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Wed, 27 Nov 1996 15:11:12 -0600
kernel-package (3.03) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* changed priority of kernel-source package to optional
* changed priority of kernel-image package to optional
* Recommended dpkg-dev since kernel/rules call binaries from there
This fixes a problem that a number of people have reported on the
lists, though it never made it as a formal bug report.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 22 Nov 1996 11:02:31 -0600
kernel-package (3.02) unstable; urgency=low
* kernel-source-X.XX now no longer recommends bin86, since bin86 is only
available Intel platforms. It now merely mentions it in the
description.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 7 Nov 1996 22:18:15 -0600
kernel-package (3.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed one last typo in postinst. This (finally) fixes Bug#4234.
* Also, version 3.00 fixed Bug#4500 and Bug#4624
* kernel-source-X.XX now recommends bin86, which fixes Bug#4443
* Added short, succinct (and potentially dangerous) instructions on
compiling kernels at the top of the README file. This fixes Bug#4445.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com> Wed, 6 Nov 1996 23:58:35 -0600
kernel-package (3.00) unstable; urgency=medium
* Changed the kernel-package to the new packaging schemes.
* Removed the dist, source, and diff targets for make-kpkg, added
binary-arch, binary-indep, and buildpackage targets.
* Changed make-kpkg to reflect reorganization of the
/usr/lib/kernel-package/ tree.
* Changed Author email.
* Removed dithering about ./debian/* in kernel sources, now make-kpkg
looks only at /usr/lib/kernel-package/ (clears confusion about older
versions of kernel-package).
* Modified make-kpkg.8 to reflect changes in make-kpkg, and ran a spell
check.
* Renamed debian/package.config to kernel-packageconfig, and removed
(obsolete) references to dchanges)
* Moved *.README to copyright.*, and changed the rules files to
conform.
* Added explanation for kernel-headers-X.XX (and why we need this
package in spite of having headers in libc5-dev)
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com> Mon, 4 Nov 1996 16:19:33 -0600
kernel-package (2.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo in make-kpkg man pages where it insisted that it was
make-dpkg ;-)
* Made the close brackets agree with open brackets in the man page
synopsis. This fixes Bug#3960
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
kernel-package (2.02) unstable; low
* Made image.postinst more polite.
* Also enabled kernel-{source,image,headers} targets in kernel.rules
* Changed make-kpkg to also accept the new targets.
* Fixed typo in man page.
* The man page says it is an administrators man page rather than a
programmers man page.
* Recommended libc-dev for kernel-source and kernel-package
* source suggests ncurses3.0-dev, tk40-dev and the description explains
you could use make menuconfig rather than plain old make config if you
had these packages.
* Fixed typo in the rules for modules in /usr/src/modules/ directory
* Made the rules for such modules ignore errors (since they are not
really a part of this package, error there should not halt this build
(or so people seem to want it)
* Look for modules in the kernel config file (or the default config file
if the user has not supplied a config file), and only make modules and
install them if modules have been configured in the config file. This
could be tested better.
* Fixed the make-kpkg.8 man page so that it now does not seem to mandate
a source and diff file for additional modules installed under the
directory /usr/src/modules/ (whether these files are produced is at
the discretion of the maintainer of that modules package.
* Make configure depend on stamp-configure which in turn depends on
.config Hopefully, this will remake the image target if one changes
the config file Hopefully, this will not cause the image target to
build needlessly.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
kernel-package (2.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed the scripts to refer to /usr/bin/perl rather than /bin/perl.
* Added an extended description to the image control file.
* Added a note that the dist target requires a PGP key.
* Fixed a typo (missing DEBDIR) in debian.rules.
* Fixed the targets expected by make-kpkg (kernel_image rather than
kernel-image, etc).
* In image.postinst, made arguments to system be a single argument if
the arguments contain shell meta-characters, (this way perl passes
them to sh -c).
* Made make-kpkg accept non floats as revision numbers, to facilitate
local names.
* Fixed silly bug in makefloppy in image.postinst.
* Fixed the extended description of the kernel-package package.
* Updated the image postinst to install the mbr, if it exists, and to
activate the root partition, and to not overwrite the mbr (oops).
* Changed maintainer email address to debian.org (I'll be in a state of
flux soon)
