Is it really necessary to replace the spec file generation in tar-up.sh by a perl version called mkspec? I personally learned to hate perl. Additionally to my personal dislikes this introduces the first perl script that is necessary to build our kernel package.
Is there any reason why we can't live with a shell version as we did before?
Besides that mkspec is broken and can't build the Kernel:Vanilla projects anymore since it doesn't honor EXTRAVERSION properly.
What do you mean by this?
For the kernel build scripts it is important that the packaging reflects the kernel release numbering scheme. Therefore EXTRAVERSION and files like localversion* need to be honored for the naming of the rpm package. So for the linux-next project I want the rpm to be called kernel-default-2.6.28-next-20090107 where the -next-20090107 is coming from the localversion-next file. This is really important for our kernel to support this kind of setups. Otherwise our scripting work is not usable for contributors not interested in building default openSUSE kind of kernel packages.
