| geek1nick | Hello | 10:05 |
| geek1nick | I need to put on my personal ppa a custom flavour of the ubuntu xenial kernel. I need to add a few patch and change the configuration. And I don't want that if a user install my ppa/kernel to get updates from the main kernel | 10:06 |
| geek1nick | I was thinking of creating for example the packages linux-meta-nick and linux-image-4.10.0-nick | 10:07 |
| geek1nick | i've seen in the xenial kernel git on the hwe branch that there's a folder called debian.hwe and debian.generic | 10:08 |
| geek1nick | I need to rename it to debian.nick? | 10:09 |
| geek1nick | there's some documentation about how to do it? | 10:09 |
| geek1nick | some script to generate the initial folder? | 10:09 |
| geek1nick | and regarding the patch | 10:09 |
| geek1nick | is better to just apply to the kernel git or to have some "patch folder"? | 10:10 |
| geek1nick | another question | 10:11 |
| geek1nick | the build with debuild is very slow is possible to pass option to the build like for example -j16 | 10:12 |
| geek1nick | and is possible to build a kernel package without doing a "clean"? | 10:12 |
| geek1nick | ps I've already tested the config/patches with a custom vanilla kernel build with "make deb-pkg" and they are ok | 10:13 |
| geek1nick | anyone? | 10:26 |
| apw | you should just be able to make your own meta, and switch people to linux-nick / linux-image-nick | 10:53 |
| geek1nick | ok | 10:55 |
| geek1nick | my problem is in the kernel directory | 10:55 |
| geek1nick | how I can create the "flavour directory? | 10:55 |
| geek1nick | there's a script to do it? | 10:55 |
| geek1nick | for example debian.nick | 10:55 |
| apw | well it isn't necesarry to change the flavour name if you are supplying a replacement meta | 10:55 |
| apw | you can just point linux-image-nick to linux-image-<version>-generic | 10:56 |
| geek1nick | ok but the version will not clash with the one from the ubuntu repo? | 10:56 |
| geek1nick | I want something like linux-image-nick-4.10 as the package name | 10:57 |
| geek1nick | to avoid having problem in the updates | 10:57 |
| geek1nick | sorry but the debian system is still foreign to me | 10:58 |
| apw | well updates are completely driven by linux-meta, so you would likley be ok | 10:58 |
| apw | if they remove linux-generic when they instlal linux-nick, which you could ensure with Conflicts | 10:58 |
| apw | but otherwise debian.master and debian.nick would be mostly identicle other than your config changes, and changing debian.nick/changelog to say linux-nick in it | 10:59 |
| apw | and debian.nick/control | 10:59 |
| geek1nick | ok thanks | 10:59 |
| geek1nick | regarding the speed of the build? Is pretty slow | 11:00 |
| geek1nick | is possible to pass -j option to the make from debuild | 11:00 |
| geek1nick | ? | 11:00 |
| apw | geek1nick, it should use -j<cpus> by default iirc | 12:12 |
| geek1nick | ok | 14:47 |
| geek1nick | thanks | 14:47 |
| lorddoskias | what's the difference between crda and wireless-crda packages? | 15:01 |
| JanC | wireless-crda just depends on crda | 15:33 |
| JanC | I'm not sure wireless-crda is still needed in the archive... (it looks like some leftover from a migration or something?) | 15:35 |
| lorddoskias | hm, from time to time iw as getting disconnects and region changes so i completely uninstalled crda and now i get: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25873603/ | 15:45 |
| lorddoskias | any ideas what reason 4 is | 15:45 |
| lorddoskias | i'm using 16.04 with an ath9271 chipset | 15:45 |
