Paul, Each time you change your kernel version, you have to change the files debian/control, debian/rules and debian/emc2.files to reflect the kernel version. You did this once to change it from the original to 2.6.12.6-rtai, so I don't understand why you didn't simply change it again for 2.6.16. If you wanted to create a good experience for your users, you should publish a package based on the files tagged TESTING, not the HEAD version of a particular day. This is what Chris does when he builds the debian packages for Ubuntu. Until Paul has straightened this out, I recommend following the instructions on the emc wiki to build emc2 TESTING on bdi4 machines. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?BDI-4_38_Compile_EMC2 http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Testing If you run into problems because of Paul's kernel upgrade, please let me know; if you can update the instructions on the wiki, even better. Jeff PS If you have patches or advice about how the emc2 debian/ directory can be enhanced so it does not hard-code kernel version numbers, please let the emc2 developers know. I'd be pleased to incorporate any patches that improve the packaging of emc2 into .debs. |
