kbuild: rpm-pkg: fix version number handling

2017-09-20T15:06:03+00:00

The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
.version file.

However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
always indicates #1.  This does not match with "rpm -q".

The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
created.  Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion.  This script returns an
incremented version.  So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
greater than the version in the kernel by one.

For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.

For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
because it contains the version number that was used for building the
kernel image.

We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
not touch the .version file.

kbuild: deb-pkg: remove firmware package support

2017-09-20T15:03:57+00:00

Commit 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") deleted
in-kernel firmware support, including the firmware install command.

So, the firmware package does not make sense any more.  Remove it.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: delete firmware_install to fix build error

2017-09-20T15:02:58+00:00

Commit 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") deleted
in-kernel firmware support, including "make firmware_install".

Since then, "make rpm-pkg" / "make binrpm-pkg" fails to build with
the error:

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `firmware_install'.  Stop.

Commit df85b2d767aa ("firmware: Restore support for built-in firmware")
restored the build infrastructure for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but this
is out of the scope of "make firmware_install".  So, the right thing to
do is to kill the use of "make firmware_install".

kbuild: buildtar: do not print successful message if tar returns error

2017-09-12T15:20:33+00:00

The previous commit spotted that "Tarball successfully created ..."
is displayed even if the "tar" command returns error code because
it is followed by "| ${compress}".

Let the build fail instead of printing the successful message since
if the "tar" command fails, the output may not be what users expect.

Avoid the use of the pipe.  While we are here, refactor the script
removing the use of sub-shell, ${compress}, ${file_ext}.

$tmpdir/lib is created by "make modules_install".  It does not exist
if CONFIG_MODULES is disabled, then tar reports the following messages:

builddeb: Update a few outdated and hardcoded strings

2017-04-24T23:06:35+00:00

The builddeb script has some hardcoded references to Linux version 2.6
which is ancient. Drop Provides as the virtual packages provided are not
useful anymore. Leave the Provides for linux-kernel-headers, as someone
might still be referring to it.

While at it, updated copyright date and drop Standards-Version: since
the package isn't Debian Standards compliant anyways.
