A changes file (also called Debian upload control file) contains information about binary packages, including the changelog entry, the maintainer, the package list and the checksums. It can be used by various Debian tools like dput and dcmd to execute action on all the build packages at once, for example uploading the packages to an dedicated Debian repository. --- scripts/package/builddeb | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/package/builddeb b/scripts/package/builddeb index 88dbf23..46c2838 100755 --- a/scripts/package/builddeb +++ b/scripts/package/builddeb @@ -383,4 +383,7 @@ EOF create_package "$dbg_packagename" "$dbg_dir" fi +# Generate a change file +(cd $KBUILD_OUTPUT; dpkg-genchanges -b > ../linux_${packageversion}_${debarch}.changes) + exit 0 -- 2.1.4 -- 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
