 Building kernels from SVN (for official images):
 
-1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org (ie,
-linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2).
-2) Run trunk/scripts/prune-non-free <tarball> <version>.  This will produce two
-additional tarballs; linux-kernel-<version>.orig.tar.gz and
-linux-kernel-nonfree-<version>.orig.tar.gz.  Ignore the nonfree tarball
-for now.
+1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org
+   (ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2) and, optionally, a patch
+   (i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
+
+2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]. This will produce
+   ../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
+   (i.e. linux-2.6_2.6.26~rc3.orig.tar.gz).

 3) Unpack linux-kernel-<version>.orig.tar.gz, cd into the new directory,
-and do a 'svn export' to get the debian/ subdirectory.
-4) Build debian/control by running 'debian/rules debian/control'.
-5) .configs will be generated during build; to modify them, run
-trunk/scripts/split-config <arch dir> <flavour>.  After modifying config
-options, you will be prompted for whether you want to change the config
-options globally (across *all* architectures), for the particular arch
-that you're working on, for the particular sub-arch you're working on,
-or just for that particular flavour.
-6) split-config sometimes create duplicates that are treated wrongly.
-Run trunk/scripts/split-config <arch dir> <flavour> if you made changes
-to your local subarch only.
-Run trunk/scripts/split-config -f <arch dir> <flavour> if you made
-changes either globally generally for your arch (and make sure you agree
-with others if doing so and comitting your changes to SVN).
