(You only need to pay attention that you get the Pengutronix sources, not the Debian ones. This depends on the source lines in your sources.list and probably some configuration in /etc/apt/preferences) > * unpack sources > * copy the config file to .config in the kernel source tree.

The (IMHO) more appropriate way is to edit config/config and then use debuild -us -uc and then go and get you a coffee (or two). > > Notes: > * Note that you get a build failure on lenny as it does not find the utsreleas version in the right location for newer kernels (newer than 2.6.26 that is) so you have to manually cp include/generated/utsrelease.h include/linux/utsrelease.h and rerun the make-kpkg command > * provide package AND sginature to the users of this package. > * CONCURRENCY_LEVEL is just like -j4 here - so adjust to what is suitable for your compile box You have to use DEBIAN_KERNEL_JOBS=4 for the way described above.
