I'm far away from being a kernel hacker unfortunately. I might just end up being the one trying to merge security patches I find somewhere into that kernel to keep 11.1 running. The changes I would need right now are some to the spec file templates as I cannot rely on SUSE's internal PDB to fix package descriptions up. So I'm planning to go through the templates and fill in useful text.
Ick, no, don't do that, just use obs and the scripts we have for generating packages directly from the kernel git tree, and you will not need to edit any of those template files at all.
I use OBS and if you check your kernel:SLE11_BRANCH project you will find that your kernel packages there have exactly that issue. All have summary "Dummy summary" and description "Dummy description".
Odd, when I ran 'scripts/tar_up.sh' last time, I thought the correct descriptions got generated. Did you try that?
Yes, on the SLE11_BRANCH the descriptions in the spec templates are just dummy descriptions. They are not replaced by anything in the repo or OBS. For 11.1 and SLE11 they are replaced by SUSE's internal system using data from the PDB. This was verified by Marcus already and fits what I knew from my SUSE history. On later branches the correct descriptions are already in the spec templates as PDB is not used anymore on distributions being built in OBS.
