kernel-package 13.000 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

kernel-package (13.000) unstable; urgency=low


  * 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
    kmod.Please add the correct depend", thanks to Domenico Pasella.
  * Bug fix #705587,: "As of 3.8-rc2, kernel building requires bc(1)", thanks to
    <email address hidden>.
  * Bug fix #702600: "1: bc: not found", thanks to Andrei Paulau
  * Bug fix #742674: "bc should be added to the dependencies", thanks
    to Erik Braun
  * 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.
  * Bug fix #696537: "Fails to build linux-3.7.1 with module-support disabled",
    thanks to Stefan Gehn. Used the suggested new regular expression.
  * Bug fix #728014: "[PATCH] Fix cross-building armhf kernel packages", thanks to
    Karsten Merker.
  * Bug fix #591793: "Building 2.6.35 kernel fails with kernel-package 12.036",
    thanks to mahashakti89,
  * Bug fix #724775: "kernel-package uses deprecated find -perm +xxx syntax,
    please switch to find -perm /+++", thanks to Andreas Metzler.
  * Bug fix #652637: "Generated linux-image package should depend on
    initramfs-tools", thanks to Matthijs Kooijman. Added the suggested
    dependency
  * Bug fix #593857: "enable gzip for mipsel loongson cpu", thanks to
    liushiwei. Applied the suggested patch
  * Bug fix #734310: "exclude include/linux/version.h", thanks to Eduard Bloch
  * Bug fix #597637: "dpkg using obsolete option", thanks to Brian Minton
