I don't know what the suffix is going to be next time we need to add
it, but it will sort lower than the '+deb' suffix added for stable
security updates.
usbip has its own version number which we combine with the source
package version, which is assigned to VERSION for the install-usbip
target (only). We find the version number by processing the config.h
file created by autoconf. The file always exists before the
install-usbip rule is invoked, but the target-specific definition of
VERSION is still evaluated whenever debian/rules.real is used,
resulting in confusing (though harmless) error messages about a
missing file.
We could change VERSION to be a recursively-expanded variable, but
then it would still be evaulated multiple times. Instead, move the
definition of VERSION into the target's commands.
FAT has to convert between Linux filenames ('iocharset' encoding,
should be UTF-8 today) and native filenames (UTF-16 for long names,
'codepage' encoding for short names). And it has to do case
folding in multiple encodings. Unfortunately Linux doesn't
implement case-folding for UTF-8, resulting in inconsistent name
lookup behaviour as shown in bug #833238.
The 'utf8' option makes FAT assume the Linux filename encoding is
UTF-8, regardless of the 'iocharset' encoding. Enabling this and
setting iocharset=ascii mitigates the problems by enabling case-
folding for the ASCII subset.
Make that the default by enabling FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8 and setting
FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET to "ascii".
Currently the linux-source-<version> package may or may not include
these files, depending on the order things are built in.
As autotools always modifies the source directory, copy (rsync) the
source to the build directory and build in-place there.
Some years back I patched the #include of <linux/usbip.h> to include
the current, uninstalled version through a relative path because the
system-installed version will normally be outdated. We're about to
start copying the source to avoid writing autotools crap into the
source directory, which breaks this relative path.
Since we now install the UAPI headers under debian/build at the start
of the tools build, drop the patch and add that directory to the
include path.
Drop rt patchset updates as they don't apply to 4.7.
Drop various other patches already in 4.7.
Fold the remaining Debian changes in the open changelog entry for 4.6.7-1
into the open changelog entry here.
