| luc4 | Hello! When git bisecting the kernel for the rpi, can I only replace the vmlinuz file in /boot? Or do I also have to rebuild the initrd? | 09:10 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra | the kernel deb usually does this automatically ... | 10:30 |
| ogra | (the deb has a postinst trigger that calls update-initramfs) | 10:31 |
| luc4 | ogra: I see, the problem is that I don’t know how to generate a deb from a commit in the kernel | 10:31 |
| luc4 | ogra: when I crossbuild, all I get is vmlinuz | 10:32 |
| ogra | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel | 10:33 |
| ogra | CROSS_COMPILE= and ARCH= are respected when building a deb ... | 10:33 |
| luc4 | ogra: that procedure seems to assume the debian/ directory is present. But I see it is only present in some commits, not in others. | 10:34 |
| ogra | ?? | 10:34 |
| ogra | it is definitely in all our trees | 10:34 |
| luc4 | ogra: I’m git bisecting, and I found myself in commits where no debian/ directory was present. | 10:36 |
| luc4 | ogra: what I saw is that the directory seems to be added when a new release is started, is this possible? | 10:36 |
| ogra | well, not sure what tree you are bisecting against (and i'm not any expert in bisecting) but you should definitely always have a debian dir in any ubuntu trees | 10:38 |
| ogra | perhaps better ask in #ubuntu-kernel | 10:38 |
| luc4 | ogra: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+git/hirsute/tree/?id=84faf29b2d529a10cd71e609ddb237a5af8551a4 | 10:40 |
| ogra | as i said, better ask in #ubuntu-kernel ... | 10:42 |
| luc4 | ogra: ok, thanks | 10:43 |
| ogra | though that commit you have there is totally not for RPi's at all ... | 10:43 |
| ogra | https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+git/hirsute/commit/?id=84faf29b2d529a10cd71e609ddb237a5af8551a4 | 10:43 |
| luc4 | ogra: I see, but bisection brings me there. | 10:43 |
| ogra | it's adevicetree change for some exotic stm 96boards device | 10:44 |
| luc4 | ogra: I understand that commit is not relevant for me, but previous commits are. | 10:44 |
| ogra | (not sure why that would even end up in linux-raspi at all ... so you definitely need someone from the kernel team to answer that) | 10:44 |
| luc4 | ogra: isn’t that the rpi kernel? | 10:45 |
| ogra | linux-raspi is the pi kernel. yeah ... but that seems to be some upstream pull-in thing | 10:45 |
| luc4 | ogra: oh, maybe I found the wrong git? | 10:46 |
| ogra | they tend to sync changes from upstream ... and that might be why there is no debian dir in the upstream tree you compare | 10:46 |
| ogra | but again, only someone from the kernel team can answer that | 10:46 |
| luc4 | ogra: ok, I’ll try to ask there then, thanks | 10:46 |
