* Porter NMU.
* kernel/ruleset/*.mk: use DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS instead of DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM
  to fix make-kpkg on armel (Closes: #425971).

* 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* Bug fix: "french manpage is out of date, and doesn't include the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

* 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).

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)

21. By Ben Collins on 2007-03-02

Disable CRASH_DUMP kernel, now that we support relocatable ones.

20. By Ben Collins on 2007-01-04

Fix shell-in-perl-script stupido.

19. By Ben Collins on 2007-01-02

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 on 2006-11-06

* 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 on 2006-10-01

* 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 on 2006-08-28

Redirect update-initramfs output to stderr to avoid confusing debconf
(closes: Malone #54346).
