kbuild: deb-pkg: allow hooks also in /usr/share/kernel
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
By passing an additional directory to run-parts, allow Debian and its
derivatives to ship maintainer scripts in /usr while at the same time
allowing the local admin to override or disable them by placing hooks of
the same name in /etc. This adds support for the mechanism described in
the UAPI Configuration Files Specification for kernel hooks. The same
idea is also used by udev, systemd or modprobe for their config files.
https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_files_specification/

This functionality relies on run-parts 5.21 or later.  It is the
responsibility of packages installing hooks into /usr/share/kernel to
also declare a Depends: debianutils (>= 5.21).

KDEB_HOOKDIR can be used to change the list of directories that is
searched. By default, /etc/kernel and /usr/share/kernel are hook
directories. Since the list of directories in KDEB_HOOKDIR is separated
by spaces, the paths must not contain the space character themselves.

# Simple script to generate a deb package for a Linux kernel. All the
# complexity of what to do with a kernel after it is installed or removed
# is left to other scripts and packages: they can install scripts in the
# /etc/kernel/{pre,post}{inst,rm}.d/ directories (or an alternative location
# specified in KDEB_HOOKDIR) that will be called on package install and
# removal.
# is left to other scripts and packages. Scripts can be placed into the
# preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm directories in /etc/kernel or
# /usr/share/kernel. A different list of search directories can be given
# via KDEB_HOOKDIR. Scripts in directories earlier in the list will
# override scripts of the same name in later directories. The script will
# be called on package installation and removal.
