  * Bug fix: "Installed vmlinuz file has insufficient read permissions",
    thanks to Toby Speight (Closes: #775834).

    makefile", thanks to Arthur Marsh (Closes: #777105).

    thanks to Cyril B. (Closes: #780278).
  * Bug fix: "cannot produce debs anymore", thanks to Ritesh Raj Sarraf
    The real issue here was that the kernel was built using the deprecated
    sudo, instead of fakeroot, and created ./debian directory as
    root. Clean, however, is not run as root, so it could not delete
    ./debian, and failed. This is now documented. (Closes: #812470).

  * Bug fix: "--revision is broken (again)", thanks to Roland Koebler
    Actually, in this case, it is the documentation which is broken; it
    fails to mention that the revision number must start with a
    digit. (Closes: #782447).
  * Bug fix: "make-kpkg(1) says initramfs hook scripts need to be
    explicitly enabled", thanks to Ben Hutchings> Explicitly note that
    initramfs-tools installs scripts, as does dracut. (Closes: #765609).

    (Closes: #751751).
  * jumped on a s390x porterbox, and created initial support for a s390x

  * Bug fix #751751: "conffiles not removed", thanks to Paul Wise. We
    handled obsolete conffiles sub-optimally since they were not really
    supposed to be obsolete.

  * kernel-img built with the current kernel-package fails to install on
    an older system (wheezy) due to dependency on kernel-common package
    which is not available there. Based on a suggestion by Michal Hocko,
    changed the relationship to a Recommends, which is what it should have
    been in the first place.  (Closes: #749318).
  * Since the linux-image packages produced by make-kpkg recommend
    kernel-common, , development packages could be forced on to systems
    which installl kernel-common just for the man page. A patch from Sven
    Joachim fixes this oversight. (Closes: #749388).
  * Bug fix #749318: "kernel-img depends on kernel-common", thanks to
    Michal Hocko
  * Bug fix #749388: "postinst should not call dpkg-architecture", thanks

  * There are three different views of what architecture a machine hasL
    That of the linux kernel, that of dpkg, and that of the GNU
    configuration systems, So, when the user specifies arch and subarch,
    the information has to be transformed for all the systems, as
    required. This commit tries to give the correct information to dpkg,
    and also still take into account sub architecture specifications.
    (Closes: #748702).
  * Add a dependency on dpkg-dev for the kernel-common package, since the
    maintainer scripts use dpkg-architecture. Alsom kernel-package can't
    really do anything useful without pkg-dev, so added there as well.
    (Closes: #748862).
  * Bug fix #748702: "make-kpkg creates packages with missing architecture
    on i386", thanks to Sven Joachim
  * Bug fix #748862: "missing dependency on dpkg-dev", thanks to Adam
    Borowski

  * The fix for building packages with the correct sub--architecture was
    flawed, in the sense it always looked at theKPKG_ARCH, even when there
    was no need to stray away from DEB_HOST_ARCH. This commit relieas on
    dpkg-architecture to tell us what the proper arch should be for a
    situation where we are building for a subarchitecture.
    (Closes: #748316).
  * Bug fix #748316: "Arch set to x86_64 instead of amd64", thanks to Geoff

  * No longer have generated kernel images depend on ksymoops, a long
    defunct package, since it is useless with kernels >= 2.6.
    (Closes: #748066).
  * When the user asks for the arch name to be part of the kernel image
    package version string, only image and debig packages included the
    arch in the name. This commit makes the name of the header package
    also be consistent with the image names. At this point, the source and
    document/manual package names remain generic, since arch specific
    differences should not exist in those packages. (Closes: #568576).
  * the image packages generated by kernel-package also build in the
    modules requested in the configuration file, so there is no
    linux-moules-* package. However, in case there are dependencies on
    that package name, the image package now also claims to provide the
    modules package. (Closes: #599815).
  * In order to ease the life of people cross compiling, or building for a
    subarch, do not call dpkg-gencontrol with the host archtecture, but
    rather, with the architecture we built the kernel image for.
    (Closes: #563300).
  * Hopped on to an armel machine to test make-kpkg. The CPU is reported
    as arm by dpkg-architecture, so the top level logic in kernel-package
    was correct.Unfortunately, the armel specific file wassumed the CPU
    was armel, so nothing got included.  Corrected that inner check in
    this release.  (Closes: #664854).
  * Bug fix #748066: "generated linux-image packages suggest ksymoops",
    thanks to Sven Joachim
  * Bug fix #568576: "builds non-matching kernel and headers packages",
    thanks to Michal Suchanek <email address hidden>

  * The underlying kernel tree has long removed support for zImage
    images. This makes bzImage the default, so there is no need to have
    the user specify one or the other, so removed the --zImage and the
    --bzImage options from kernel-package. Removing this also removed code
    that caused confusion in the image names when --bzImage argment was
    used.  (Closes: #574957).
  * Modified the manual pages to reflect the changes aboue. Updated the
    po4a .po files and .pot files.  Also clarified the requirements for
    running as root,, and emphasized that fakeroot is th way to go, and
    running as root is not recommended. Clarified that make-kpkg is
    supposed to be run after configuring the kernel. (Closes: #704116).
  * Previously, the Debian revision had to contain a digit. Now dpkg
    complains if it does not start with a digit. Updated the  sanity
    checks to test for this new constraint.   (Closes: #674101).
  * Bug fix #574957: "Installation od XEN kernel images fails.", thanks to
    Christian Motschke
  * Bug fix #704116: "[make-kpkg] manpage not uptodate", thanks to

    otherwise make-kpkg thought that building on a sheevaplug was cross
    compiling for arm.  (Closes: #686159).

  * Normally, if the kernel configuration file enables support for
    modules, the kernel image package produced by kernel-package contains
    the modules, and the modules have a link to the location of the
    debugging symbols file for the mdoule, usually installed by the debug
    package. However, adding this link changes the signature of the module,
    which is not a good thing is module signing is also enabled. This
    version does not install the link to debug symbols if module signing
    is enabled in kernel configuration. Please recompile without moduile
    signatures in order to debug modules. (Closes: #722946).
  * Bug fix #722946: "corrupts module signatures due to objcopy
    --add-gnu-debuglink", thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

  * There were some places where we still recommended custom.1.0 instead
    of 1.0.custom, even though the former is now not acceptable. This
    commit fixes the remaining locations where that advice was incorrect.
  * When compiling in a git checkout of the kernel sources: the
    KERNELRELEASE variable contains the key word dirty, even though the
    tree is clean, and verified by git status. This is caused by using
    fakeroot make-kpkg .../ Updated documentation to not the preferred
    form is to use make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot to avoid this.
    (Closes: #717807).
  * If you build from the git tree of the linux kernel, and you are not on
    a tagged branch, the script scripts/setlocalversion will append a plus
    sign to the version if the repository is not in a clean annotated or
    signed tagged state and LOCALVERSION= is not specified. This creates
    problems when packaging the resulting image. Updated the documentation
    for workarounds. (Closes: #721482).
  * Patch to build uImage kernels for ARM by  Andrew Bradford. This adds
    the --uimage option to build a uImage kernel for ARM systems. Needs
    uboot-mkimage installed to do so, This package contains the mkimage
    utility, which encapsulates a compressed  "uImage" Linux kerel image
    with header information, CRC32 checksum, etc,  for use with the U-Boot
    bootloader.  (Closes: #572117).
  * Since the debug images all upload files in the same location, they
    conflict with each other.  (Closes: #570635).
  * Starting with 2.6.35 there is a new kernel config target (nconfig)
    which is something like menuconfig just a bit fancier. Added support
    for that. (Closes: #590446).
  * The generated image packages now suggest the corresponding manual
    packages, in addition to the doc packages. Made the doc and manual
    packages suggest each other.  (Closes: #593895).
  * Bug fix: #717807: "kernel-release contains -dirty although the tree is

  * The image installation process upstream has changed; and uses the
    /sbin/installkernel method now (which is not really aware of
    installing into a temp directory for packaging). Updating the install
    process to match. This also means that this version of kernel-package
    can not compile kernels older than July 2009.
  * Fixed a typo in the control file for debug image packages.
  * Just compiled a kernel linux-image-3.15.0-rc4 with these changes
    (Closes: #745686).
  * To build a kernel  with LZ4 compression enabled, lz4c is
    needed. Added a suggests for liblz4-tool (Closes:  #746539).
  * As part of an effort to deter kernel exploits, System.map and the
    kernel image should be made readable by root only to prevent attackers
    from getting knowledge of kernel addresses. This version of kernel
    package does exactly that.  (Closes: #615029).
  * Upstream kernel Makefiles provide an header_install target to install
    sanitized headers into the destination. Use that while generating the
    headers package.  (Closes: #696922).
  * Bash autocomletion doesn't support all target commands.  Bartosz Janda
    provided an updated autocomplete script (Closes: #696264).
  * Previously the lguest source moved from Documentation/lguest to
    Documentation/virtual/lguest, and more recently it moved again to
    tools/lguest. Look now in all these places. (Closes: #690813).
  * The documentation for the kernel requires db2html from the
    docvoot-utils package to render. kernel-package has always Suggested
    the package, but there was some surprise when the documentation
    packages ended up mostly empty. Moved the relationship to Recommends.

  * Move to a new build system based on dh. This is just for
    kernel-package, no changes have yet been made to the generated package
    build system.
  * Move way from git modules to a flatter structure, to better use
    standard git build frameworks. (Closes: #690002).
  * Updated the dependency to from module-init-tools -> kmod, since the
    module-init-tools is an obsolete transitional package.
    (Closes: #733701, #663358, )
  * As of 3.8-rc2, kernel building requires bc(1. Added bc as a dependency
    for kernel-package, so that building a kernel will work again
    (Closes: #705587, #702600,  #742674).
  * There are new configuration options called CONFIG_MODULE_*, which
    confuse the regular expression trying to detect whether modules are
    configured or not. Modified the regular expression to detect
    whether modules are configured as suggested by Stefan Gehn.
    (Closes: #696537).
  * make-kpkg failed to cross build armhf kernels. The supplied patch by
    Karsten Merker adds a few missing definitions  which are only used in
    the case of cross-building (Closes: #728014).
  * The UTS_RELEASE definition was moved from
    $(KERN_ROOT)/include/linux/utsrelease.h to
    $(KERN_ROOT)/include/generated/utsrelease.h. The current version looks
    in both places. Fix sggested by  mahashakti89, (Closes: #591793).
  * find -perm syntax changed from -perl +XXX to -prem /xxx. Fixed
    the use of find -perm in the one location I found it in
    (Closes: #724775).
  * Added a dependency on initramfs-tools into the generated linux-image
    packages,  (Closes: #652637).
  * kernel package was not building a vmlinuz image for mipsel loongson
    cpu. Applied the patch from  liushiwei to allow make-kpkg build
    vmlinuz on mipsel loongson cpu machines (Closes: #593857).
  * if the file include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h exists then
    include/linux/version.h must not be added to
    linux-headers-... package. The former should not exist, and if it does
    it is a mistake.     (Closes: #734310).
  * dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture',
    use '--print-architecture' instead. Replaced all instances of dpkg
    --print-installation-architecture in the package. (Closes:  #597637).
  * The following bugs were fixed in this release:
  * Bug fix #733701: "please do not depend on module-init-tools", thanks to
    <email address hidden> (Marco d&#39;Itri)     .
  * Bug fix #663358: "module-init-tools is now a transitional dummy package for

  * Bug fix #690002: "Git package repository contains empty directory
    `debian/`", thanks to Paul Menzel. The problem is not that the git
    repository had an empty debian directory, the issue was that
    kernel-package uses git modules. One has to (recursively) expand the
    modules. However, whith this commit, we move away from git modules to
    a flat structure.

  * New bug fixing release.
  * [3f7296a] Handle Xen code configured into modern kernels
  
    When building a current kernel with the in-kernel xen code enabled on
    amd64, kernel-package does not recognize this correctly because it
    matches on a config variable which apparently is no longer set (or
    maybe even was never used in the in-kernel xen code). This commit adds
    an extra stanza that adds support for the Xen in new kernels. The
    suggestion and bug report were from  Michael Holzt. The patch is a
    three line change.
  
    Bug fix: "does not recognize xen enabled kernel on amd64", thanks to

  * [debiandir:343ab3c] Update the build dependency for po4a

    Bug fix: "Backport to Etch fails with po4a error", thanks to Carsten
    Aulbert                                              (Closes: #505661).
  * [4a35a16] Use the variable LINK_ARCH to include x86 headers

    missing. We already have code to grab the headers from the new
    location; but were looking at the wrong architecture name.

  * Launchpad: #125816, Fix string search expressions to find exact tokens.
  Many string search expressions in this package could incorrectly match
  on the wrong string. Consider these 2 lines in /etc/kernel-img.conf:

    postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
    header_postinst_hook = /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms

  The original string search expression
    $postinst_hook = "$1" if /postinst_hook\s*=\s*(\S+)/ig;
  would match incorrectly on the last instance of 'postinst_hook' (header_postinst_hook),
  thereby running the wrong post-installation script.

  The new string search expression requires an exact match.

    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.

kernel-package (10.068) unstable; urgency=high

  * 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).
