Ubuntu
kernel-package package

What package contains make-kpkg in 20.10?

Asked by Ted

Hello,

I recently upgraded to 20.10 and the upgrade removed the kernel-package package. Usually, I generate modified kernels from the linux-source package using make-kpkg. Is there a preferred alternative to kernel-package in 20.10?

Thank you,
Ted

In Ubuntu releases up to Ubuntu 20.04 the executable file "make-kpkg" is provided by the package "kernel-package", but that package does not exist on Ubuntu 20.10 any more.

(From Debian) ROM; upstream discontinued, obsolete, better options exist; Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/960377
