Source: kernel-package
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.5.5.0
Package: kernel-package
Description: Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image
package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source
directory tree. It can also package the relevant kernel headers into
a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if
you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default
kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner,
meaner kernel. It also scripts the steps that need be taken to
compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial
step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for a full list of advantages
of this package.
.
If you are running on an intel x86 platform, and you wish to compile a
custom kernel (why else are you considering this package?), then you may
need the package bin86 as well. (This is not required on other platforms).
