Kernel 4.3-rc1 introduces Commit 3716001bcb7f5822382ac1f2f54226b87312cc6b which was from an e-mail thread of this subject name. I am not on the linux-kbuild e-mail list, but have found and reviewed the approximately 45 e-mails of this thread, back to v1. I understand that I now need to use bindeb-pkg where I used to use deb-pkg to compile the kernel. However, I do not understand why I now get a .change file that I do not want. Nor do I want the 532 lines of "dpkg-genchanges" and ""Use of uninitialized value" warnings at the end of the compile. I am asking why is this stuff here (in scripts/package/builddeb): >+EOF >+ mv ${sourcename}.tar.gz ../${sourcename}_${version}.orig.tar.gz >+ tar caf ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}.debian.tar.gz debian/{copyright,rules,changelog,control} >+ dpkg-source -cdebian/control -ldebian/changelog --format="3.0 (custom)" --target-format="3.0 (quilt)" \ >+ -b / ../${sourcename}_${version}.orig.tar.gz ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}.debian.tar.gz >+ mv ${sourcename}_${packageversion}*dsc .. >+ dpkg-genchanges > ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}_${debarch}.changes >+else >+ dpkg-genchanges -b > ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}_${debarch}.changes >+fi >+ and suggest that (at least for people that just want things to be the way they were) it should be: +EOF + mv ${sourcename}.tar.gz ../${sourcename}_${version}.orig.tar.gz + tar caf ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}.debian.tar.gz debian/{copyright,rules,changelog,control} + dpkg-source -cdebian/control -ldebian/changelog --format="3.0 (custom)" --target-format="3.0 (quilt)" \ + -b / ../${sourcename}_${version}.orig.tar.gz ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}.debian.tar.gz + mv ${sourcename}_${packageversion}*dsc .. + dpkg-genchanges > ../${sourcename}_${packageversion}_${debarch}.changes +fi -- 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
