May 10 10:10:20 <luc4> Hello! When git bisecting the kernel for the rpi, can I only replace the vmlinuz file in /boot? Or do I also have to rebuild the initrd?
May 10 11:30:51 <ogra> the kernel deb usually does this automatically ...
May 10 11:31:09 <ogra> (the deb has a postinst trigger that calls update-initramfs)
May 10 11:31:48 <luc4> ogra: I see, the problem is that I don’t know how to generate a deb from a commit in the kernel
May 10 11:32:07 <luc4> ogra: when I crossbuild, all I get is vmlinuz
May 10 11:33:06 <ogra> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
May 10 11:33:43 <ogra> CROSS_COMPILE= and ARCH= are respected when building a deb ...
May 10 11:34:29 <luc4> ogra: that procedure seems to assume the debian/ directory is present. But I see it is only present in some commits, not in others.
May 10 11:34:41 <ogra> ??
May 10 11:34:48 <ogra> it is definitely in all our trees
May 10 11:36:32 <luc4> ogra: I’m git bisecting, and I found myself in commits where no debian/ directory was present.
May 10 11:36:58 <luc4> ogra: what I saw is that the directory seems to be added when a new release is started, is this possible?
May 10 11:38:11 <ogra> well, not sure what tree you are bisecting against (and i'm not any expert in bisecting) but you should definitely always have a debian dir in any ubuntu trees
May 10 11:38:19 <ogra> perhaps better ask in #ubuntu-kernel
May 10 11:40:37 <luc4> ogra: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+git/hirsute/tree/?id=84faf29b2d529a10cd71e609ddb237a5af8551a4
May 10 11:42:54 <ogra> as i said, better ask in #ubuntu-kernel ...
May 10 11:43:23 <luc4> ogra: ok, thanks
May 10 11:43:33 <ogra> though that commit you have there is totally not for RPi's at all ...
May 10 11:43:38 <ogra> https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+git/hirsute/commit/?id=84faf29b2d529a10cd71e609ddb237a5af8551a4
May 10 11:43:54 <luc4> ogra: I see, but bisection brings me there.
May 10 11:44:06 <ogra> it's adevicetree change for some exotic stm 96boards device
May 10 11:44:46 <luc4> ogra: I understand that commit is not relevant for me, but previous commits are.
May 10 11:44:55 <ogra> (not sure why that would even end up in linux-raspi at all ... so you definitely need someone from the kernel team to answer that)
May 10 11:45:28 <luc4> ogra: isn’t that the rpi kernel?
May 10 11:45:49 <ogra> linux-raspi is the pi kernel. yeah ... but that seems to be some upstream pull-in thing
May 10 11:46:10 <luc4> ogra: oh, maybe I found the wrong git?
May 10 11:46:25 <ogra> they tend to sync changes from upstream ... and that might be why there is no debian dir in the upstream tree you compare
May 10 11:46:44 <ogra> but again, only someone from the kernel team can answer that
May 10 11:46:59 <luc4> ogra: ok, I’ll try to ask there then, thanks
