Config files
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
All the config files live in the arch subdirectory. The config
|
||
|
file for a particular subarch is constructed by concatenating
|
||
|
the following files (any of them can be missing):
|
||
|
|
||
|
arch/config.common - architecture-independent config file
|
||
|
arch/<arch>/config.common - subarch-independent config file
|
||
|
for a particular architecture
|
||
|
arch<arch>/config.<subarch> - subarch-specific config file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is possible to avoid the inclusion of the arch-independent
|
||
|
config file (handy for the transitional period) by setting the
|
||
|
include_common_config variable to 'no' in arch/<arch>/Makefile.inc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Control file
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
The master control file debian/control must be generated before
|
||
|
the package is uploaded. debian/rules contains the debian/control
|
||
|
target, which generates the control file by concatenating the
|
||
|
common debian/control.in and all the arch/<arch>/control.in
|
||
|
files, and performing the variable substitution. Currently the
|
||
|
following variables are going to be substituted:
|
||
|
|
||
|
@karch@ Replaced by the architecture string, identical to
|
||
|
DEB_HOST_ARCH, as returned by dpkg-architecture.
|
||
|
@version@ Upstream kernel version, for example 2.6.11.
|
||
|
@ktver@ Minor version of kernel-tree to build-depend on.
|
||
|
@abiname@ Abiname value for this set of packages.
|
||
|
@kbpkg@ Current name and version of the kernel-build
|
||
|
package to build-depend on. Typical value may
|
||
|
be 'kernel-build-2.6-3', for example.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After variable substitution the resulting file is formatted to
|
||
|
ensure that the only blank lines are the ones separating the
|
||
|
entries (i.e. before the next Package: line).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Makefile.inc
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
Each architecture subdirectory in arch may contain a Makefile.inc
|
||
|
file, which is included by debian/rules after definining all the
|
||
|
variables. It may be used to override the standard variables on
|
||
|
per-architecture basis and other evil things. So far the valid uses of
|
||
|
this file include the setting of the following variables:
|
||
|
|
||
|
include_common_config
|
||
|
|
||
|
Setting it to 'no' will prevent the common kernel config from being
|
||
|
included for this particular architecture.
|
||
|
|
||
|
header_dirs
|
||
|
|
||
|
This variable is substituted into the headers-install script,
|
||
|
controlling which asm-* directories are included into the
|
||
|
kernel-headers package. By default it is set to karch (see
|
||
|
above). For sparc, for example, if will have to be set to
|
||
|
'sparc | sparc64' for the correct packages to be generated. See
|
||
|
headers-install file for details.
