1 I added as little glue as possible to the vloopback source to build with the | |
2 Debian kernel module tools kernel-package [0] or module-assistant [1] | |
3 | |
4 | |
5 kernel-package | |
6 ============== | |
7 | |
8 kernel-package is a utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages | |
9 just by running `make-kpkg kernel_image` | |
10 | |
11 Documentation on building extra kernel modules like vloopback is in the | |
12 kernel-package package in `/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.modules` | |
13 | |
14 Essentially, you must download the vloopback source, which comes with the | |
15 necessary Debian glue [2] | |
16 | |
17 Now you can add to the `make-kpkg` command line `--added-modules | |
18 <vloopback_location> modules_image` | |
19 | |
20 No matter where you downloaded vloopback, you can use the absolute path to the | |
21 source for <vloopback_location> | |
22 | |
23 If you downloaded vloopback to `/usr/src/modules/<vloopback_source>s`', you can | |
24 use just <vloopback_source> for <vloopback_location> | |
25 | |
26 When `make-kpkg` is finished, you should find | |
27 'vloopback-modules-<kernel_version>_<vloopback_version>+<kernel_revision>_<architecture>.deb' | |
28 in the directory below that which you ran `make-kpkg` | |
29 | |
30 Use this package however you would ordinarily use a Debian package - for | |
31 instance: `dpkg -i | |
32 vloopback-modules-<kernel_version>_<vloopback_version>+<kernel_revision>_<architecture>.deb` | |
33 | |
34 | |
35 module-assistant | |
36 ================ | |
37 | |
38 The module-assistant tool helps users & package maintainers with managing | |
39 external kernel modules packaged for Debian | |
40 | |
41 Documentation on building modules with module-assistant is in the | |
42 module-assistant package in `/usr/share/doc/module-assistant/HOWTO` | |
43 | |
44 Essentially, you must download the vloopback source, as with kernel-package | |
45 | |
46 Then you can run `module-assistant build <vloopback_source>` | |
47 | |
48 It's not yet clear to me whether you must download vloopback to | |
49 `/usr/src/module/<vloopback_source>`, whether you can use | |
50 `MODULE_LOC=<other_path> module-assistant build <vloopback_source>` if | |
51 vloopback is downloaded to `<other_path>/<vloopback_source` or whether you can | |
52 run `module-assistant build <other_path>/<vloopback_source>` | |
53 | |
54 Consult the module-assistant documentation or contact the module-assistant | |
55 maintainer for more information | |
