Uhm... where do I start.
I apt-get sourced & apt-get build-dep'ed the latest
linux-restricted-modules in hardy. My Kernel-Image is called
linux-image-2.6.25.4-lldesktop. linux-headers are also installed.
I then renamed linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.12 to
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.25-2.6.25.4.
But what I don't know is, what I have to put into debian/rules.
# kernel
abi_version = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version |
sed 's/.*-//;s/\..*//')
kernel_version = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Source |
sed 's/.*-//')
kernel_abi_version = $(kernel_version)-$(abi_version)
lrm_version = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version |
awk '{print $$2}')
Is what I have atm, but this build 2.6.24-2.6.24.12. I tried serveral
combinations for abi_version and kernel_version, but I got errors all
the time. Also, do I really have to set all the options mentioned
in "Modify debian/rules"?
