No. But when you do `make install' it runs `make modules_install' for the kernel, which regenerates everything in the /lib/modules/2.6.xx directories. > How can I build a debian package of the kernel then?

Separate packaging of these small LSM modules is still a work in progress. There are no standard solutions yet, AFAICT. If you want to help, there are people on the debian-multimedia ML actively trying to figure out how to do this. I'll do what I can, but I am not a Debian Developer, nor an expert on the Debian packaging system. > I really would like to use make-kpkg instead of make modules_install etc. So would I. If you want to hack something yourself, I suspect that the simplest approach will be to turn it into a kernel patch, which you would apply using the existing PATCH_THE_KERNEL mechanism of make-kpkg. If you do that, please keep me posted on your results. It seems that a kernel-patch version of this LSM is worth having. I'll work on that when I find time. It should be straightforward. But, I've got too many other uncompleted tasks right now. :-) The Debian multimedia people want a binary distribution method. That will likely require a different solution. -- joq
