[11:00] <chilversc> Almost there, is there any simple way to add my own suffix to the kernel name though that shows up in both the package names and "uname -r". I find this makes it simpler to know, and check, if I'm using my custom built kernel.
[11:02] <chilversc> When using the standard kernel build process I'd just use LOCALVERSION, but I'm not sure that's valid for Ubuntu? I see mention of it in the Debian instructions but I get the feeling the Ubuntu build process has changed that significantly?
[15:00] <xnox> you can do that, or specify that adhoc to the build process too
[17:23] <chilversc> xnox: does that work when using debian/rules or dpkg-buildpackage with Ubuntu mainline though? If so what's the command as when I've tried it all the packages are just named linux-image-unsigned-6.4.0-060400rc4-generic_6.4.0-060400rc4.202305281232_amd64.deb, etc
[19:56] <ghavil> Howdy, if I wanted to test out a patch against the mainline kernel on an ubuntu node, is there a way to get the 'debian/rules' files working? I think what I'm after is the source for these deb's: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.4-rc4/amd64/ 
[19:56] <ghavil> git://kernel.ubuntu.com/virgin/linux.git doesn't have them, which I think is expected, but, I wasn't sure where exactly the right source is. 
[21:20] <xnox> chilversc:  mainline builds possibly overrides things, but you can set all the options that do_mainline_build does, and then change the flavour too, it should be possible to do such a combo via both dpkg-buildpackage or direct debian/rules
[21:21] <xnox> ghavil: there is a repo with tags of those somehwere. i don't think it's on kernel.ubuntu.com though.
