This directory contains Linux-libre sources and binaries for gNewSense
for Lemote Yeeloong laptops.

For each build, in the pool directory there's going to be an -image, a
-doc, and a -headers .deb package, in addition to -source, -patches
and -build tarballs.  The -source tarball is a Linux-libre release,
whereas -patches contains patches and a quilt series file that
specifies how they should be applied on the exploded Linux-libre tree.
-build is the complete source and build tree, to build modules or so.

Building the binaries from -sources and -patches could be thus done
like this:

arch=mipsel kver=2.6.32 libresuf=-libre revision=0lxo &&
base=linux-${kver} release=${kver}${libresuf}-lemote_${revision}_${arch} &&
if test -f linux-source-${release}.tar.bz2; then
  tar -xf linux-source-${release}.tar.bz2;
else
  tar -xf ${base}${libresuf}.tar.bz2
fi &&
mkdir $base/.patches &&
tar -C $base/.patches -xf linux-patches-$release.tar.bz2 &&
cd $base &&
ln -s .patches patches &&
: or set QUILT_PATCHES=.patches in ~/.quiltrc &&
quilt push -a &&
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH \
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision $revision \
  kernel-image kernel-headers kernel-doc

Before running the make-kpkg command, you MUST set up a
~/.kernel-pkg.conf, containing at least the LAST line below:

maintainer = Your Name
email = your@addre.ss
debian_revision_mandatory = True
IMAGE_TYPE = vmlinux

Without the IMAGE_TYPE line, on mipsel, the created packages will
contain vmlinu*x* but attempt to set up a vmlinu*z* link, and thus
fail to install.

Needless to say, in order for the commands above to work, you'll need
the packages quilt and make-kpkg, available from the gNewSense package
repository.


To be able to install the packages with apt or equivalent, add this
line to your apt sources.list:

deb http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense metad main

Download archive-key.asc from this directory and use apt-key add to
make it trusted.
