Both cool guys (longterm Debian maintainers and admins) gave me several good hints to make this a "proper" solution. Maybe, they won't remember :-). I switched from Debian/unstable to Ubuntu/precise these days and that was the reason I wanted the correct $distribution in my generated Debian kernel packages. Might be I come back when Debian/wheezy is released... you never know :-). Or I get an Amiga-3000 with Debian/m68k running... with DirOpus and DPaint-IV, hahaha. I was simply too lazy to place a rock-solid changelog. - Sedat - > Michal > > On 24.4.2012 00:16, Sedat Dilek wrote: >> Signed-off-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@xxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> scripts/package/builddeb | 15 ++++++++++++++- >> 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/scripts/package/builddeb b/scripts/package/builddeb >> index eee5f8e..f5b56ac 100644 >> --- a/scripts/package/builddeb >> +++ b/scripts/package/builddeb >> @@ -172,9 +172,22 @@ else >> fi >> maintainer="$name <$email>" >> >> +# Try to determine distribution >> +if [ -e $(which lsb_release) ]; then >> + codename=$(lsb_release --codename --short) >> + if [ "$codename" != "" ]; then >> + distribution=$codename >> + else >> + distribution="UNRELEASED" >> + echo "WARNING: The distribution could NOT be determined!" >> + fi >> +else >> + echo "HINT: Install lsb_release binary, this helps to identify your distribution!" >> +fi >> + >> # Generate a simple changelog template >> cat <<EOF > debian/changelog >> -linux-upstream ($packageversion) unstable; urgency=low >> +linux-upstream ($packageversion) $distribution; urgency=low >> >> * Custom built Linux kernel. >> >> > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
