scripts/package: deb-pkg: use fakeroot if available

2009-12-12T12:08:16+00:00

Running "make deb-pkg" requires setting KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD or
becoming root oneself or it errors out.  Unless already running
as root or KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD is already set, use fakeroot as a
good default.

With this patch applied, you can run "make oldconfig deb-pkg" as
an ordinary user to build a binary package for an updated kernel
tree and it should just work.

fakeroot is too zealous by default in treating files as owned by
root.  Its wrapped stat() sets st_uid and st_gid to 0 for all
files, which causes Git to go on a wild goose chase if
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set, checking if any file's content
has changed along with its stat information.  Avoid this by
telling fakeroot to use the actual owner and group for
preexisting files, by passing it the -u option.

scripts/package: add KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variable

2009-12-12T12:08:15+00:00

Let the deb-pkg target acquire (fake) root privileges before
running commands that need them.  Without such privileges,
deb-pkg errors out because chown fails.

The new KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variable, if defined, is used as a
command to run other commands with possibly fake elevated
privileges.  Since this is not needed for the tar-pkg and rpm-pkg
targets, it is only used by deb-pkg.  If it is not defined, the
behavior is as before, and the user will have to rerun make as
root.

In other words, as a shortcut, instead of running 'make oldconfig &&
make && fakeroot -u make deb-pkg', one can use the single command
'make oldconfig deb-pkg KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u"'.

scripts/package: tar-pkg: use tar --owner=root

2009-12-12T12:08:15+00:00

Use the --owner= and --group= options to make sure the entries in
the built tar file are owned by root.  Without this change, a
careless sysadmin using the tar-pkg target can easily end up
installing a kernel that is writable by the unprivileged user
account used to build the kernel.

Test that these options are understood before using them so that
non-GNU versions of tar can still be used if the operator is
appropriately cautious.

kbuild: fix the binrpm-pkg target to work with KBUILD_OUTPUT set

2009-10-11T21:21:24+00:00

The binrpm-pkg target (binary RPM only) fails when called with
KBUILD_OUTPUT set. This patch makes it work.

For the rpm-pkg target (source + binary RPM), building with
KBUILD_OUTPUT set is not possible and also not needed as the
actual build is done in a temporary directory anyway, so check
that KBUILD_OUTPUT is not set in that case to avoid later errors.

kbuild, deb-pkg: fix install scripts for posix sh

2009-07-17T21:02:57+00:00

bash versus dash and posh disagree on expanding $@ within double quotes:
export x="$@"
see http://bugs.debian.org/381091 for details
just use the arglist with $*.

dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.31-rc1_2.6.31-rc1-18_i386.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
export: 6: 2.6.31-rc1-18: bad variable name
fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13567

seen on Ubuntu as there dash is the default sh,
versus bash on Debian.

kbuild: deb-pkg ship changelog

2009-06-26T22:07:27+00:00

In the series for 2.6.31 it was noticed to ship the copyright,
but the generated changelog got lost somehow.

As bonus the generated linux-image deb packages are Lenny lintian clean.

kbuild, deb-pkg: fix Section field

2009-06-09T20:37:42+00:00

Section "base" has been removed, the base is defined by Priority field.

For Squeeze the section should be "kernel", but as that's not yet
supported for Sarge and Etch we stay with admin for now.

kernel-image naming has been dropped for the Lenny release
and was only transitional for Etch.

As it builds modules it provides linux-modules-$version.

The binary package that make deb-pkg creates is a linux-image.
To be fixed may also be the addition of $DEB_ARCH.
