=head1 SYNOPSIS

 usage: make-kpkg [options] [target [target ...]] 

=cut

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This manual page explains the  Debian  B<make-kpkg>  utility,
which  is  used  to create the kernel related Debian pack
ages. This utility needs to be run from a top level  Linux
kernel source directory. 

=cut

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 3

=item B<--help> Print out a usage message.

=item B<--revision> number

=over 2

Sets the Debian revision number for the packages produced to the
argument B<number>. This has certain constraints: It only has an
effect during the configure phase (in other words, if a file called
stamp-configure or both debian/changelog and debian/official exists,
this option has no effect -- run make-kpkg clean or manually remove
stamp-configure, and stamp-debian (and debian/official, if that
exists) for it to have an effect). I suggest you run make-kpkg clean
unless you know what you are doing. Secondly, it may contain only
alphanumerics and the characters + . (full stop, and plus) and should
contain a digit. B<NOTE>: No hyphens allowed. (Look at Chapter 5 of
the Programmers manual for details). Optionally, you may prepend the
revision with a digit followed by a colon (:)

This is because  B<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.


=back

=item B<--flavour> foo

=over 2

Sets the kernel flavour to the argument B<number>. The flavour is also
appended to the package name. You need a patched Makefile to make this
work properly (see /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Flavours.gz).  It may
contain only alphanumerics and the characters - + . (full stop,
hyphen, and plus). Uppercase letter are also not permitted under the
Policy for a new package. B<NOTE>: Hyphens are discouraged.  (Look at
Chapters 4 and  5 of the Programmers manual for details).


=back

=item B<--arch> foo

=over 2

Sets the Architecture. This is mostly useful when cross compiling.

=back

=item B<--cross_compile> foo

=over 2

Sets the target string. This is mostly useful when cross compiling.

=back

=item B<--subarch> foo

=over 2

Some architectures (the Alpha, and the m68k) require a different
kernel for each subarchitecture. This option provides a way of
specifying it as an argument to make-kpkg. Please note that additional
support for sub architectures may be required in the kernel sources to
actually make this do anything.


=back

=item B<--subarch> foo

=over 2

Some architectures (the Alpha, and the m68k) require a different
kernel for each subarchitecture. This option provides a way of
specifying it as an argument to make-kpkg. Please note that additional
support for sub architectures may be required in the kernel sources to
actually make this do anything.


=back

=item B<--arch_in_name> foo


=over 2

This option uses an extended name for the kernel image package by
embedding the subarchitecture in the image name, so one could write a
script to create multiple subarchitectures one after the other. You
may also do this by setting the environment variable ARCH_IN_NAME. 

=back

=item B<--pgpsign> name

=over 2

Set the string used to sign the B<changes> file for any external modules
in I</usr/src/modules/> using PGP. This option will override the builtin
default and the site wide customizations stored in the file
I</etc/kernel-pkg.conf>.

=back

=item B<--targets>

=over 2

Prints out a list of known targets. See the Section B<Targets> below.

=back

=item B<--noexec>

=over 2

Pass  a  B<-n> option to the I<make> so that commands are merely
printed  to  the  screen  but  not actually  executed.  This is very
useful for debugging.

=back

=item B<--zimage>

=over 2

Makes a zImage kernel rather than a bzImage  kernel (the  default).
Useful for people having problems with bzImage kernels.

=back

=item B<--bzimage>

=over 2

Makes a bzImage kernel. Useful for people who  want a bzImage kernel
on sites where the default is zIm age kernels.

=back

=item B<--rootcmd>

=over 2

The command that provides a means of gaining super user access (for
example, `sudo' or `fakeroot') as needed by dpkg-buildpackages's -r
option. This is only relevant for the buildpackage target.

=back

=item B<--us>

=over 2

This option is passed to dpkg-buildpackage, and directs that package
not to sign the source. This is only relevant to the buildpackage
target. 

=back

=item B<--uc>

=over 2

This option is passed to dpkg-buildpackage, and directs that package
not to sign the changelog. This is only relevant to the buildpackage
target. 

=back

=back

The options maybe shortened to the smallest unique string,
and may be entered with either a - or a -- prefix, and you
may use a space or an = symbol between  an  option  string
and a value.

=cut


my $usage = <<"EOUSAGE";
This program should be run in a linux kernel source top level directory.
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz contains a list of known problems.

usage: $main::MYNAME [options] target [target ...]
  where options are:
 --help                This message.

 --arch_in_name        Embedd the subarch in the image package name
 --pgpsign  name       A ID used to sign the changes file using pgp.
 --targets             Lists the known targets.
 --zimage              Create a kernel using zImage rather than bzImage
 --bzimage             Create a kernel using bzImage (in case the site
                       wide default is zimage, as set in
                       /etc/kernel-pkg.conf) 
 --rootcmd method      A command that provides a means of gaining
              	       super user ccess (for example, `sudo' or
              	       `fakeroot') as needed by dpkg-buildpackages's
              	       -r option.  This is only relevant for the
              	       buildpackage target.
 --us                  This option is passed to dpkg-buildpackage, and
                       directs that package not to sign the

This target runs the targets B<clean>, B<build>, and B<binary>, and
produces the complete package using B<dpkg-buildpackage>.

=back

=item B<binary>

=over 3

This target produces all four Debian kernel packages by running the
targets B<kernel_source>, B<kernel_headers>, B<kernel_doc> and 
B<kernel_image>.

=back

=item B<kernel_source>

=over 3

This target produces a debianised package of the Linux kernel
sources. The package produced also has scripts called at install and
delete times that manage the symbolic link I</usr/src/linux> and
ensure that the link is pointed at the latest source/header package on
the system.

=back

=item B<kernel_headers>

=over 3

This target produces a Debian package containing the header files
included in the Linux kernel. The package produced also has scripts
called at install and delete times that manage the symbolic link
I</usr/src/linux> and ensure that the link is pointed at the latest
source/header package on the system.

=back

=item B<kernel_doc>

=over 3

This target produces a Debian package containing the documentation
included in the Linux kernel. 

=back

=item B<kernel_image>

=over 3

This target produces a Debian package of the Linux kernel source
image, and any modules configured in the kernel configuration file
I<.config>.  If there is no I<.config> file in the kernel source
directory, a default configuration is provided similar to the one used
to create the B<Debian> boot-floppies.  The package produced updates
the symbolic links in the root directory to point to the new kernel
image in I</boot>.  It also offers to run the Linux loader, B<LILO>,
creating a configuration file for B<LILO> if needed.  It also offers
to put the new kernel on a floppy, formatting the floppy if needed.
On deletion, the package checks the version of the kernel running, and
refuses to delete a running kernel.

=back

=item B<build>

=over 3

This target, used by target B<kernel_image> above, compiles the Linux
kernel image.

=back

=item B<modules>

=over 3

This target allows you to build all add-on modules and packages that
are very dependent on the precise kernel version they are compiled for
at the same time you build your kernel image.  This target expects to
find the modules or packages under /usr/src/modules, and, for all such
directories, changes to I</usr/src/modules/x>, and runs the B<kdist> rule in
the local I<debian.rules> file.  This target should create the B<Debian>
module package(s), and may also produce a compressed tar file, and a
compressed diff file, with I<md5sums> recorded in a changes file using
B<dpkg-genchanges>.  The file is signed by the same identity that would
be used to sign the kernel packages.

=back

=item B<modules_config>

=over 3

This target allows you to  configure  all  packages under
I</usr/src/modules>. 

=back

=item B<modules_image>

=over 3


This target allows you to build all packages under I</usr/src/modules>,
but does not create the source or diff files, and does not create and
sign a changes file.

=back

=item B<modules_clean>

=over 3


This target allows you to clean the modukes directories.

=back

=item B<configure>

=over 3

This target allows people to create the debian directory and create a
configuration time stamp, so that any special edits to
configuration-generated files are not stomped over later.

=head1 FILES

Apart from the runtime options, the debian.rules file run by B<make-kpkg>
also looks for site-wide defaults in the file I</etc/kernel-pkg.conf>.
The default configuration allows there to be a site wide override for
the full name and email address of the person responsible for
maintaining the kernel packages on the site, but the
I</etc/kernel-pkg.conf> file is actually a I<Makefile> snippet, and any
legal make directives may be included in there.  B<Note>: Caution is
urged with this file, since you can totally change the way that the
make is run by suitable editing this file. Please look at
I</usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz> for a list of known
problems while compiling kernel images.
