[PATCH v2] arm64: Allow packing uncompressed images into distro packages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Bjorn Andersson <quic_bjorande@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The distro packages (deb-pkg, pacman-pkg, rpm-pkg) are generated using
the compressed kernel image, which means that the kernel once installed
can not be booted with systemd-boot.

This differs from the packages generated by the distros themselves,
which uses the uncompressed image.

Use the newly introduced CONFIG_COMPRESSED_INSTALL option to allow
selection of which version of the kernel image should be packaged into
the distro packages.

Changes in v2:
- Restore the install-specific handling to retain the behavior of
  installing the uncompressed "Image" under CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y &&
  CONFIG_COMPRESSED_INSTALL=n.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240819-uncompressed-distro-packages-v1-1-c8accc8bc9ea@xxxxxxxxxxx
