-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2005 10:14:33 -0600 Source: kernel-package Binary: kernel-package Architecture: source all Version: 10.025 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Changed-By: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Description: kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages. Closes: 344413 344740 Changes: kernel-package (10.025) unstable; urgency=low . * Bug fix: "kernel-package: latest unstable version breaks linux-2.6 build on amd64", thanks to Frederik Schueler. Now we let the architecture still be whatever DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU says it should be. Just set KERNEL_ARCH correctly on amd64/x86_64 machines early, so that make-kpkg clean does not flake out when there is no ./debian dir. Accept either x86_64 or amd64 as the architecture, just in case, when selecting the correct Makefile snippet. So it is perfectly fine to still say --arch=amd64, like linux-2.6 does (Closes: #344740). * Bug fix: "[powerpc] k-p 10.00x breaks debconf based /etc/kernel/*.d scripts like mkvmlinuz", thanks to Sven Luther. Well. In the recent 10.X series, kernel package has started producing image packages whose maintainer scripts use debconf for user interaction. Unfortunately, this meant that any hook scripts called in the maintainer scripts for the image package (update-grub comes to mind), if they wrote anything at all to the STDOUT, would cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since it was expecting commands on STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook scripts. . One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook scripts, and redirecting stdout to stderr in hte invocation of the scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf impossible. . So, either we ban scripts that are interactive, or scripts that scribble on stdout. Since the former makes some functionality impossible (some scripts can delicer added functionality and flexibility of they can interact with users), and the latter just needs a code change, I would prefer to ask packages that provide scripts to be used in kernel image postinst/postrm to use debconf for user interaction, and to send diagnostics to STDERR (Closes: #344413).
