[WOLK-devel] Debian Kernel Package

[Philipp H. <phu...@uo...>]

Hello, 

as I have recently noticed, the kernel version 2.4.18-WOLK3.1 ist not allowed 
for debian kernel packages:

<--snipp-->

  zoidberg:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg modules_image
/usr/share/kernel-package/rules:965: *** Error. The version number 
2.4.18-WOLK3.1 is not all lowercase. Since the version ends up in the package 
name of the kernel image packcdage, this is a Debian policy violation, and 
the packaging system shall refuse to package the image. .  Stop.

A patch for this is :

 KERNELRELEASE=$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION)

Also the NVidia Kernel Modul does not build with 2.4.18-WOLK, while it build 
with a whole bunch of other kernels like vanilla 2.4.18, 
2.4.18-international-crypto,  2.4.19-per2-ac2.

While this should not go to the lkml, it is defently a topic for a so called 
"working overload linux kernel".
