- This directory contains various Makefile snippets which used to be in
- the variable setting part of the monolithic rules file, and then went
- into local-vars.mk, and now have been pulled off into their own
- section.
-
- checks.mk: Various checks that would let the build process detect and
- abort on various error conditions.
-
- config.mk: Various internal variable set based on defaults and the
- user configuration files, or from environment vars.
-
- defaults.mk: This file sets default values for variables _before_ the
- user configuration files are read.
-
- initrd.mk: This snippet uses hard coded version based heuristics to
- determine which set of tools would be viable for providing
- an initrd or initramdisk for the kernel being built, if
- initrd's are selected by the user as desired.
-
- modules.mk: This file deals with setting up variables, looking at
- directories, and creating a list of valid third party
- modules available for the kernel being built.
-
- patches.mk: This file deals with setting up variables, looking at
- directories, and creating a list of valid third party
- patches available for the kernel being built.
-
- pkg_names.mk: This file sets up package names for the packages we can
- build (based on kernel version), the locations under
- ./debian where these packages shall be built, and the
- corresponding relative directory paths
-
- version_vars.mk: This file looks at the top level kernel Makefile, and
- extracts the components of the version string. It
- uses the kernel Makefile itself, so it takes into
- account everything the kernel Makefile itrself pays
- attention to.
