[00:37] <xedniv> how would someone go about setting up an automatic build system (ex. from git) to build kpkgs?
[00:37] <xedniv> we have to include some patches internally and would like to track the ubuntu server kernel package sources. apply our own patchsets to a branch, and then have a separate system produce built packages from that repo
[00:37] <xedniv> i found no documentation about doing this
[09:11] <fooctrl> are there any news when kernel will be updated in Cosmic to i.e: 4.18? it's still on 4.15
[15:35] <fragile> What should KW_DEFCONFIG_DIR be set to when building a new kernel from here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel In a fresh 16.04 Server VM, `fakeroot debian/rules clean` just works, but in my 18.04 host it explains that the environment variable is mandatory and isn't set. 
[15:37] <fragile> I've tried setting it to /usr/share/kernel-wedge , but this leads to a "No such file or directory" error of some kind in /usr/share/kernel-wedge/commands/gen-control , inside the read_package_list subrouting I think. Where `die "package-list: $!";" is.
[15:39] <fragile> Don't know enough perl to really make sense of what's happening around there
[15:51] <fragile> Made sense of the error now. Creating an empty package-list file fixed my problem, after finding the README.gz doc. But is package-list supposed to be optional (like in the documentation) or not?
