Package: linux-source-@version@ Architecture: all Section: kernel Provides: linux-source, linux-source-@major@ Depends: binutils, bzip2 Recommends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc, make Suggests: libncurses-dev | ncurses-dev, kernel-package, libqt3-mt-dev Description: Linux kernel source for version @version@ with Debian patches This package provides source code for the Linux kernel version @version@. This source closely tracks official Linux kernel releases. Debian's modifications to that source consist of security fixes, bug fixes, and features that have already been (or are believed to be) accepted by the upstream maintainers. . If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package, which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image packages. Package: linux-doc-@version@ Architecture: all Section: doc Provides: linux-doc-@major@ Description: Linux kernel specific documentation for version @version@ This package provides the various README files and HTML documentation for the Linux kernel version @version@. Plenty of information, including the descriptions of various kernel subsystems, filesystems, driver-specific notes and the like. Consult the file /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-@version@/Documentation/00-INDEX for the detailed description of the contents. Package: linux-manual-@version@ Architecture: all Section: doc Provides: linux-manual, kernel-manual-@major@ Conflicts: linux-manual, kernel-manual-@major@ Replaces: linux-manual, kernel-manual-@major@ Description: Linux kernel API manual pages for version @version@ This package provides the Kernel Hacker's Guide in the form of manual pages, describing the kernel API functions. They are installed into section 9 of the manual. . As the files containing manual pages for different kernel versions are installed in the same location, only one linux-manual package may be installed at a time. The linux-doc package containing the documentation in other formats is free from such restriction. Package: linux-patch-debian-@version@ Architecture: all Depends: bzip2, linux-support-@upstreamversion@@abiname@, python Suggests: linux-source-@version@ Description: Debian patches to version @version@ of the Linux kernel This package includes the patches used to produce the prepackaged linux-source-@version@ package, as well as architecture-specific patches. . Note that these patches do NOT apply against a pristine Linux @version@ kernel but only against the kernel tarball linux-@major@_@source_upstream@.orig.tar.gz from the Debian archive. Package: firmware-linux-free Architecture: all Description: Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel This package contains firmware which was previously included in the Linux kernel and which is compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. . Most firmware previously included in the Linux kernel is non-free and has been moved to the firmware-linux-nonfree package. Package: linux-support-@upstreamversion@@abiname@ Architecture: all Section: devel Depends: ${python:Depends} Description: Support files for Linux @upstreamversion@ This package provides support files for the Linux kernel build, e.g. scripts to handle ABI information and for generation of build system meta data. Package: linux-base Architecture: all Depends: libapt-pkg-perl, ${misc:Depends} Description: Linux image base package This package contains files and support scripts for all Linux images.
