Re: [Ltib] patchmerge problems with newer Linux kernels

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Peter,

This looks like a good change to make.  The only question I have is whether this may break on older kernels, I can't see why it should? have you tried this on an older kernel?  If so I will apply.

Thanks, Stuart

Stuart,

Somewhere around kernel version 2.6.32, the "make distclean" command used in f_patchmerge() doesn't clean out generated files in the appropriate arch directory which requires hand editing the patch to clean them up.

In the f_patchmerge() subroutine, I've tried modifying the "make distclean" to be:

if [ "$tok->{name}" = "kernel" -a -n "$pcf->{GNUTARCH}" ]; then
	    make ARCH=$pcf->{GNUTARCH} distclean
else
	    make distclean
fi
  

with good results:

+ cd /home/peter/work/logic/eps_svn/software/products/linux/LTIB/trunk/ltib-20091102-omap3logic.32/rpm/BUILD/linux-2.6.32.modified
+ '[' kernel = kernel -a -n arm ']'
+ make ARCH=arm distclean
