[Bug 498747] [NEW] Failed to build linux-image-2.6.33.rc1

[Lawrence Rust]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-package

Building a linux 2.6.33-rc1 image using kernel-package 11.001 (from
Kubuntu 8.04 LTS) fails with the message:

The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h
     ""
does not match current version:
     "2.6.33-rc1"
Please correct this.

Builds of all previous kernels work fine.  The problem can be fixed by
first creating the debian directory with

make-kpkg debian

and then patching debian/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk line 141 :

UTS_RELEASE_HEADER=$(call doit,if [ -f include/linux/utsrelease.h ]; then  \
                               echo include/linux/utsrelease.h;            \
                           else                                            \
                                echo include/linux/version.h ;              \

to:

UTS_RELEASE_HEADER=$(call doit,if [ -f include/generated/utsrelease.h ]; then  \
                              echo include/generated/utsrelease.h;            \
                           elif [ -f include/linux/utsrelease.h ]; then  \
                               echo include/linux/utsrelease.h;            \
                           else                                            \
                                echo include/linux/version.h ;              \
