| temp64 | found a new install method | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| temp64 | I'm going to podman export a devuan container and flash it onto my USB stick | 00:39 |
| temp64 | then apt install grub, grub-install --removable and it should be good to go | 00:39 |
| gnarface | temp64: in regards to your earlier question, i'm not sure if it's only in the debian source package or not, but i suspect it's only in the debian source package | 00:40 |
| gnarface | the trick is, you get the binary package "linux-source" instead of the source-package for linux-image, though exactly why is vague to me | 00:43 |
| fsmithred | mason, FYI I just downloaded that README using the existing torrent file. It works! :) | 00:46 |
| temp64 | gnarface: so I'm supposed to download that, unpack /usr/src/linux-source-version.tar.xz somewhere, make nconfig, make deb-pkg and then install the *.deb via dpkg? | 00:46 |
| Xenguy_ | fsmithred, The torrent works, or ...? | 00:47 |
| mason | fsmithred: good good | 00:47 |
| gnarface | temp64: i think there's actually a few competing ways to do it, but the one i use, which is the one still referenced in the official maintainer's guide, is dpkg-buildpackage | 00:48 |
| gnarface | (yes, you can make whateverconfig first if you want to change the default configuration) | 00:49 |
| fsmithred | yeah, the torrent works. I was afraid I screwed it up by editing the README so then I un-edited it. | 00:50 |
| fsmithred | Xenguy_, ^^^ | 00:50 |
| gnarface | temp64: think there's actually also a build script in the ./debian directory too that you can just call directly, but i've had limited success with that, and for certain builds i've resorted to still using the make-kpkg tool from the package "kernel-package" (especially when using non-debian patches and sources, this is a good tool still) | 00:51 |
| gnarface | oh, and when you get the linux-source package, i'm pretty sure it decompresses and patches itself up for you by default | 00:52 |
| gnarface | ...into the current directory | 00:52 |
| gnarface | and you can just do regular make commands in there still too if you don't care about the auto-packaging stuff | 00:55 |
| gnarface | i've been building unpackaged ARM kernels lately so i'm a bit vague on the latest news with regards to the auto-packaging stuff, but i can probably help you figure it out | 00:56 |
| gnarface | so, to be clear, the linux-source binary package, behaves exactly like you'd expect the normal source packages to behave, but for whatever reason they decided to put it in the binary packags part of the repo | 00:58 |
| gnarface | the source package you get when you try to retrieve a kernel source package is just the source for the binary package itself, not the actual kernel with it... i'm sure someone who understands the debian internals better can explain why | 00:59 |
| amarsh04 | gnarface - package "kernel-package" no longer exists in Debian, I use something like MAKEFLAGS='HOSTCC=gcc-14 CC=gcc-14' make -j7 menuconfig bindeb-pkg from within /usr/src/linux | 04:41 |
| gnarface | amarsh04: oh, that's a bummer. is it possible the old one will still work, do you think? | 07:03 |
| gnarface | pkginfo says it was removed after ascii, but i think i must certainly have used this more recently than that... | 07:04 |
| amarsh04 | gnarface, I get a bit angry that Debian stopped supporting kernel-package without better announcing what to use instead | 16:33 |
