kernel-package 13.003 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

kernel-package (13.003) unstable; urgency=low


  * The image installation process upstream has changed; and uses the
    /sbin/installkernel method now (which is not really aware of
    installing into a temp directory for packaging). Updating the install
    process to match. This also means that this version of kernel-package
    can not compile kernels older than July 2009.
  * Fixed a typo in the control file for debug image packages.
  * Just compiled a kernel linux-image-3.15.0-rc4 with these changes
    (Closes: #745686).
  * To build a kernel  with LZ4 compression enabled, lz4c is
    needed. Added a suggests for liblz4-tool (Closes:  #746539).
  * As part of an effort to deter kernel exploits, System.map and the
    kernel image should be made readable by root only to prevent attackers
    from getting knowledge of kernel addresses. This version of kernel
    package does exactly that.  (Closes: #615029).
  * Upstream kernel Makefiles provide an header_install target to install
    sanitized headers into the destination. Use that while generating the
    headers package.  (Closes: #696922).
  * Bash autocomletion doesn't support all target commands.  Bartosz Janda
    provided an updated autocomplete script (Closes: #696264).
  * Previously the lguest source moved from Documentation/lguest to
    Documentation/virtual/lguest, and more recently it moved again to
    tools/lguest. Look now in all these places. (Closes: #690813).
  * The documentation for the kernel requires db2html from the
    docvoot-utils package to render. kernel-package has always Suggested
    the package, but there was some surprise when the documentation
    packages ended up mostly empty. Moved the relationship to Recommends.
    (Closes: #593894).
