The quick guide to updating Debian's M68k kernel patches from Geert's linux-m68k tree.

Setup linux-m68k git

Initial clone. 

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git
cd linux-m68k

Branch Checkout.

Old git version (lenny). 

git checkout -t -b m68k-v2.6.29 origin/m68k-v2.6.29

New git version (sid). 

git checkout -t origin/m68k-v2.6.29

Add the Remote if you didn't clone from linux-m68k.git 

git remote add linux-m68k git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git

Make sure everything is up-to-date. 

git remote update

Setup Debian kernel svn

svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/sid

Put Git Patches Under Debian svn

Export patches. 

dir=../sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/bugfix/m68k/2.6.29
git format-patch -o $dir v2.6.29..m68k-v2.6.29

Add patches to Debian series file. 

cd ../sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/series
series=1-extra
echo >> $series
echo "#m68k patches for linux-m68k.git" >> $series
find ../bugfix/m68k/2.6.29 -print | sort | sed -e 's;../;+ ;' | sed -e 's;$; m68k;' >> $series

Setup Build Environment

Setup a cross-compiler if necessary.

Fetch debian original tarball (only available after an initial release). 

apt-get --download-only source linux-2.6
tar -xvzf linux-2.6_2.6.29.orig.tar.gz

Symlink the debian directory from svn. 

cd linux-2.6-2.6.29
ln -s ../sid/linux-2.6/debian debian

Build it. 

# add -b or -B as needed
dpkg-buildpackage -am68k -rfakeroot
# or
#DEB_HOST_ARCH=m68k debuild -B -am68k
