[pkg-fso-maint] Openmoko kernel built by Debian

[Luca Capello]

Hi there!

Similarly to the Xglamo package, my work on the Openmoko kernel started
From someone other basis, in this case Philipp Kern.

The linux-2.6-openmoko.git repository [1] is nothing more than a clone
of the upstream Openmoko one [2]: I decided to push to Alioth only the
upstream stable branch, because I don't think we need to duplicate the
master one, i.e. the main kernel repository.

To give credit where credit is due, I committed Philipp's work with his
name [3].  I hope Philipp it's OK with that.  From here I'll move to the
FSO-milestone3 kernel [4], which I hope will be the first Debian ships.

From a first view at debian/rules, I saw that the uImage.bin is built
during the 'install-stamp' target.  My first tries will follow this
line, but my idea is a bit different and aims at a full integration of
the installation process with a plain Debian kernel.  We build the
Openmoko kernel as a "normal" Debian one and then at postinst we create
the uBoot image.

I'm now setting up a building machine (basically sid on a P-III where I
can let qemubuilder running) for some preliminary tests.

Comments and/or suggestions?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
