i'm sure you're excited to hear from me again, but i've found a few
more bugs in the packaging targets. one appears to be fairly obvious
-- from scripts/package/Makefile:
...
rpm-pkg rpm: $(objtree)/kernel.spec FORCE
$(MAKE) clean
$(PREV) ln -sf $(srctree) $(KERNELPATH)
$(PREV) tar -cz $(RCS_TAR_IGNORE) -f $(KERNELPATH).tar.gz $(KERNELPATH)/.
$(PREV) rm $(KERNELPATH)
...
if you're packaging remotely (that is, using "make O=..."), you can
see how the kernel.spec file is created in the obj dir, but it's the
src dir that's bundled up with tar. pretty sure that's not going to
work, but i haven't looked closely enough to know if a simple textual
change there is going to fix it -- i'm currently fighting off a wicked
cold and am only marginally coherent.
there's one more flaw in packaging, but i'll flesh it out more
completely before i post it.
