module-assistant.
Updating the cached data
========================
Do this every time after running "apt-get update", "dselect update", etc.
Run:
module-assistant update
Listing available packages
==========================
For example, we look for available packages of ALSA. Run:
module-assistant list alsa
To extend the list to module packages precompiled by Debian maintainers,
replace "list" with "search".
To list all packages, just say "module-assistant list" (or
"module-assistant search"). If you wish to limit the list to the
packages of which you have the source installed, use "li" instead of
"list".
Preparing to compile the own packages
=====================================
Run:
module-assistant prepare
Building and installing packages for the own kernel
===================================================
Assuming that there is no precompiled ALSA package available for your
kernel. Run:
module-assistant auto-install alsa
And be patient...
For more commands and options, see the manpage of module-assistant.
How to build and sign whole series of modules:
==============================================
export SIGNCHANGES=1
export KPKG_DEST_DIR=/my/package/repository
export GNUPGHOME=~username/.gnupg
module-assistant get cdfs
module-assistant build cdfs -k "`ls -d /usr/src/linux-headers*`" -vt
alternatively, you can specify DEBSIGNCOMMAND and write your own script
to sign the changes files.
