    From Salvatore Bonaccorso@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 8 10:40:02 2024
    Hi all,

    Thanks partecipating to the kernel team meetings. As we agreed on the
    last meeting, here is the start of the thread to collect potential
    agenda points for the next meeting.

    I plan to collect those on (e.g.) a wiki page on our salsa kernel-team
    project and share them at least 24h in advance of the meeting again.

    If you have any improvement wish for those meeting, ideas, feedback
    etc. share it please. The goal will remain to improve our team
    comunication and address issues more timely.

    The last meeting notes are at: https://meetbot.debian.net/debian-kernel/2024/debian-kernel.2024-06-05-19.00.html

    Regards,
    Salvatore

    Hi,

    I want to find a resolution for the default sysctl issue in time for
    Trixie. Given the kernel team has expressed strong preferences in the
    past, I would greatly appreciate it if you could please discuss it at
    one of your meetings, more details at:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1027773#82

    Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks!

    Hi,

    I'd like to propose the following item:
    - Adapting the Debian build scripts for the tools build framework

    In the upstream `tools` dir there are a number of `Build` files which seem to be part of the tools build framework.
    They look a lot like `Makefile`, but apparently are a bit different?

    It became an actual problem when working on 6.10-rcX due to this commit: 82b0945ce2c2 ("tools: hv: Add new fcopy application based on uio driver")

    IIUC, the `Build` file tells the build system to build `vmbus_bufring.o` (which is needed for `hv_fcopy_uio_daemon`), but that is not part of the `Makefile`. So when I (or Salsa's CI) tries to build it, it fails as it doesn't have `vmbus_bufring.o`.

    Rather then try to hack around to fix this specific problem, it would be better and more sustainable if the Debian build scripts were adapted so that it uses the (upstream) build framework (when needed).

    https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1081
    titled "Update to 6.9.x" also contains the following commit:
    "d/rules.d: rtla: Update Makefile for upstream restructuring"
    which references the following upstream commit:
    01474dc706ca ("tools/rtla: Use tools/build makefiles to build rtla")

    I'm not saying it's wrong, but it was an adaptation for a kind of hack, so it may be useful to take that into account as well.

    Cheers,
    Diederik
