holstless and less people in the channels that Im joining08:22
holstthat must mean that im closing in08:22
holstI am trying to make a m-a package out of perfctr kernel module08:22
Nafallohehe08:22
holsthowever, the src needs to patch the kernel directory08:22
holsthow can I accomplish this with m-a?08:22
holstor rather- any good howto about this?08:23
holsthello? =D08:24
zulholst: you can try making a patch against the current git tree and submitting the patch to the kernel-team mailing list08:26
holstwhy current git tree?08:29
holstI dont get that part08:29
zulbecause its not likely that we would be accepting new drivers for feisty08:29

holstaha, you mean that it could be a kernel module?08:30
zul14:23  * ScottK activates his "Somebody else's problem" field and gets back to coding.08:30
holstthats a bit more than I was thinking08:30
zuldoh https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam08:30
holstI was thinking a less agressive assult on the problem using m-a08:31

holstSo now I have a patch that works without problem against linux-source-2.6.20. Can I work with that? is #ubuntu-kernel the wrong forum for this sort of questions?08:50

johanbrmodule-assistant usually builds modules out-of-tree, so it depends on whether your kernel module supports that. If it doesn't, things get uglier.08:56
holstthats what I mean09:01
=== rikai__ is now known as rikai
holstis there a framework inside m-a to build this type of modules?09:01
johanbrWhat do you mean by "this type"? Out-of-tree modules? If so, the answer is yes.09:05
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
holsthmm, I have been talking about, "the src needs to patch the kernel directory"09:16
holstso out-of-tree modules doesnt seem to fit the description09:16
holstif tree is the kernel directory09:16
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
johanbrSo the module needs to depend on some specific version of the kernel source package. Which defeats the whole purpose of packaging the source.09:24
