[12:22] <BenC> davef: best to just read the stuff on the wiki (URL in topic)
[12:38] <davef> BenC: Keep trying that.  The compile bombs out on not having vboxdrv, after 9hours :-(.  I think I need to remove it from /boot/config-2.6.20-15-generic. Was hoping not to have to go through that cycle again.
[06:39] <knewt> hmm, wierd. thought i'd try ubuntu-gutsy.git again, and now getting "fatal: unexpected EOF // fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bcollins/ubuntu-gutsy.git' failed."
[06:53] <BenC> knewt: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-gutsty
[06:53] <BenC> just moved last night
[07:02] <knewt> BenC: thanks. any idea how to work around the -headers package dependency on a non-existant package?
[07:07] <mjg59> If you only generate a single flavour, it won't build the base headers package
[07:09] <knewt> i did this "AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs", but it only generated the linux-headers-2.6.22.2-* stuff, not linux-headers-2.6.22.2. if i remember correctly, anyway. it certainly wouldn't install :)
[07:15] <BenC> knewt: fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers
[07:15] <BenC> that will get you the package you want
[07:17] <knewt> ah, cool. BenC++
[07:17] <knewt> may still not be 2.6.21, but guess i can live with that *g*
[07:17] <BenC> I still need to update the wiki for the gutsy build system
[07:17] <BenC> what does 2.6.21 have to do with it?
[07:18] <knewt> 2.6.21 was what i really wanted, but i couldn't find any ubuntified trees of it anywhere
[07:28] <BenC> knewt: we don't do trees for versions we aren't planning on releasing...you do realize that it's sort of a waste to use our tree just to build a kernel package
[07:29] <BenC> knewt: getting linux-2.6.21.tar.bz2 from kernel.org and using make-kpkg would be a lot easier
[07:33] <knewt> how much of a difference is there nowadays between a ubuntu kernel and a kernel.org kernel?
[07:34] <knewt> also, how would i get make-kpkg to strip the modules such that i don't actually have a half-gig /lib/modules directory at the end of it?
[07:34] <BenC> sed 's/.*CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.*/# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not set/' .config
[07:35] <knewt> hmm. i used the /boot/config* file as the base for the build. how come it produces different results?
[07:36] <BenC> it doesn't...we strip the modules after our build is done
[07:36] <BenC> we keep the debug vmlinux image for the linux-image-debug packages
[07:36] <BenC> vmlinuz is automatically stripped
[07:36] <BenC> code wise, they are exactly the same though
[07:37] <knewt> ah
[07:38] <knewt> ok, i'll try a kernel.org build again then, thanks
[07:43] <cjwatson> BenC: a few people have asked the same question - maybe one for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/FAQ ?
[07:43] <BenC> yeah
[07:44] <cjwatson> or maybe better https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:46] <BenC> CustomBuild is for building our of our tree, so they wouldn't be exposed to this
