Comment # 30 on bug 1189841 from Michal Suchanek

Kernel scriptlets have these parameters:

name, version, release, kernelrelease, flavor, variant, usrmerged, image, certs

Eliminated parameters: suffix (removed, only used for vanilla kernel) systemmap
(inferred from usrmerged) modules_dir (inferred from usrmerged)

The parameters inferred from usrmerged are baked into a number of scripts
throughout the distribution so these can be baked in here as well.

variant is currently not used in the binary scripts but cannot be inferred -
this can be used to tie the binary package to a source package

usrmerged is necessary because non-usrmerged kernels should be installable on
usrmerged distributions (with usrmerged s-m-t) that have compatibility symlinks
(currently all)

kernelrelease is non-trivial to infer and the way it is inferred has been
updated a number of times recently

flavor could be inferred for the base package but not for subpackages like
kernel-default-base that share the same script

image is hard to infer and needs updating for new architectures

certs depends on project configuration

name. version, and release was baked into the script by the templating
mechanisms and the script was tehn reused by kernel-default-base - this should
continue working unchanged


For certificate scripts there are two parameters: certs, kmp

The code for kmp parameter is 

            # Only apply CA check on the kernel package certs (bsc#1173115)
            if [ -z "$kmp" ] && mokutil -h | grep -q "ca-check"; then
                MOK_ARG="--ca-check"

Maybe there is a more descriptiev name that could be used?

The parameters for KMP scripts are: name, version, release, kernelrelease,
flavor, usrmerged

These are the only parameters available at KMP build time.
