flash-kernel 3.0~rc.2 source package in Debian

Changelog

flash-kernel (3.0~rc.2) experimental; urgency=low


  * New kernel and initramfs hooks, new logic: flash-kernel always installs
    the latest version according to linux-version and ignores other calls.
    - Fixes installation of new kernel ABIs; closes: #550584.
    - NEWS, man page: document new behavior.
    - flash-kernel depends on linux-base >= 3.2 for linux-version.
  * Add support for triggers; see #550584 for discussion.
  * Misc syntax fixes / cleanups / refactoring; tweak output.
    - Fix some bogus messages in error conditions.
    - Refactor flash-kernel-installer and initramfs-tools hook to use shared
      function and database.
    - Split code and testsuite out.
  * Toshiba AC100 / Android handling; thanks to Julian Andres Klode for his
    input (and patience :-)
    - abootimg would now be installed via flash-kernel-installer.
    - set default root= in initrd.
    - drop Android-Boot-Config hurts more than it helps
    - don't try checking for a specific size; instead let abootimg handle size
      checks for us; size checks were meant to identify the largest partition,
      instead just scan all partitions from MMC and chose the largest one.
  * Add OMAP4 Pandaboard support.
  * Split out database in its own file under /usr/share/flash-kernel/db/;
    document format in README.
  * Drop Extra-Cmdline used in EfikaMX boot scripts; instead rely on initrd to
    set root= (as for other boards).
  * Drop accidental support for Thecus N4100 in f-k-i.
