* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Typo "call" -> "cause" in make-kpkg(1)
manpage", thanks to Ted Percival (Closes: #418496).
* Bug fix: "[kernel-package] please fail more verbose in preinst",
thanks to Carsten Hey (Closes: #404871).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: make-kpkg should not limit choice of config
method", thanks to Alex Hermann. Added silenoldconfig, but did not
make it the default, since older kernel versions do not have this
target, and make-kpkg should not fail by default for those versions.
(Closes: #413098).
* Bug fix: "french manpage is out of date, and doesn't include the
ramdisk option.", thanks to Sven Luther (Closes: #404855).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: make-kpkg debian fails if .config not
present", thanks to Sami Liedes. (Closes: #416090).
* Bug fix: "kernel/pkg/postinst says it's symlinking when hardlinking
and vice versa", thanks to Simon Huggins (Closes: #417814).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Option --cross-compile=- dont't work whith
target modules*", thanks to Jose Calhariz (Closes: #417948).
* Make kernel-package handle a non-existent .config file again (tested
on linux-2.2.26, linux-2.4.34, and linux-2.6.21.1). We figure out
which kernel needs a .config (>= 2.6.18), and for those kernels, call
make defconfig as needed.
* Added support for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_ AUTO and git source trees. If
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_ AUTO is set, see if we are running in a git
tree. If so, append -dirty to the git version string (since we do edit
the scripts Makefile to ensure ./debian does not go missing during
dpkg-buildpackage) . Now that we can handle the appending of -dirty, we
no longer move setlocalversion out of the way. This has not, however,
been tested with a git tree.
* Added XS-VCS-Arch and XS-VCS-Browse to debian/control - 23. By Manoj

* Bug fix: "/sbin/update-grub is run by default by kernel postrm if it
exists, and complains", thanks to Joey Hess. Don't semi-silently
ignore missing hooks. This means: Don't gracefully handle missing hook
scripts, the diagnostic might be lost in a flurry of messages, and
the user may never be aware that the hook script was never run.
Depending on what the hook script is meant to do, this may cause a
security problem or data loss. (Closes: #412937).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: version suffix added when building in git
trees ", thanks to Marcus Better. When run in a git sourced tree,
scripts/setlocalversion checks to see if the tree is the trunk, if
not, it adds version information to the kernel version. It also checks
to see if there are uncommited changes, if so, it adds the string
"-dirty" to the version. Since we change a couple of files in
./scripts/, this falls afoul of the make-kpkg checks, since the
version number is now different from what make-kpkg knows it to
be. Also, there is an additional truncated commit ID added by the
script scripts/setlocalversion whenever it detects that we are not
building from a tagged commit of the official tree, so it might be
just simpler to get rid of scripts/setlocalversion altogether, so we
now move it out of the way in the config phase, and restore during
clean. This allows make-kpkg to be useful for building from got trees
again. (Closes: #406180).
* Bug fix: "powerpc arch problems with 2.4 kernel", thanks to Brendan
O'Dea. For powerpc, handle circular dependency of version number and
KERNEL_ARCH. For powerpc, we need to set the (KERNEL_ARCH) based on
the version numbers -- which we can't get to unless we know the kernel
architecture. Yossarian would have liked this. Use grep to get the
most significant digits of the version number. Use these to calculate
significant digits of the version number. Use these to calculate the
KERNEL_ARCH. Use KERNEL_ARCH to get to the full version. This change
allows us not to drop support for 2.4 kernels on powerpc machines. It
does not impact anything but powerpc, and should not cause a change of
behavior on 2.6.16+ kernels even on powerpc. (Closes: #411038).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: 'applied kernel patches' is missing from
buildinfo.gz", thanks to Norbert Buchmuller. Since kernel-source-* and
kernel-patch-* packages were renamed to linux-source-* and
linux-patch-*, the "applied kernel patches:" is missing from
buildinfo.gz. (It still tries to find kernel-patch-< whatever> package
for the <whatever> patch. (Closes: #412463).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: 'kernel source package used:' info in
build.gz is inaccurate", thanks to Norbert Buchmuller. The information
that make-kpkg puts into the buildinfo.gz file with the "kernel source
package used:" description represents the version of the corresponding
{kernel,linux}- source- * package _installed_ on the system, but not the
version of the package that the current source tree was _untarred_
from. (Eg. one untars the source tree from linux-source-2.6.18- 6, then
(s)he updates the installed package to linux-source-2.6.18- 7, then
builds a kernel in the previously untarred source tree. In this case
the source really used is 2.6.18-6, but it writes 2.6.18-7 to
buildinfo.gz, which is misleading.) (Closes: #412589). - 22. By Paul Sladen
-
Touch '/var/run/
do-not- hibernate' instead of '/var/run/ do-not- suspend'
to indicate to the power-management layer that the kernel that is likely
to be used following a hibernate/resume- from-hibernate cycle has changed.
Re-closes: (Launchpad: #14908) - 19. By Ben Collins
-
Touch file to show that kernel was upgraded, so suspend/resume scripts
can recognize to not allow this: /var/run/do-not- suspend - 18. By Ben Collins
-
* Merge from debian unstable.
* Patches remaining:
- kdump kernel type addition. This will probably get backed out once we
can move to using stock kernel for kdump, with relocation.
- update-initramfs usage
- update-notifier usage
- Disable some debconf stuff. - 17. By Chuck Short
-
* Detect UTS_RELEASE_HEADER for 2.6.18 allows users to compile
the 2.6.18 kernel.* Also this patch is pre-emptive for edgy+1 kernel builds.
- 16. By Colin Watson
-
Redirect update-initramfs output to stderr to avoid confusing debconf
(closes: Malone #54346). - 15. By Ben Collins
-
Do not show debconf notice about same-name kernel image updates for
official kernels. That's because we ensure ABI compatibility.
