[Gnewsense-dev] deblobbing attempt, second time on wheezy

[dww]

Hello Sam,

I tried running liberate.sh again, but with wheezy OS on a Virtual Box

The terminal output is at www.dpaste.com/1771511
The regular output is at www.dpaste.com/1771515

Everything seemed to be OK except the last line on the terminal output
is:
'dpkg-source: error: invalid line in md5 checksums string: 1120983436
linux_3.2.54.orig.tar.xz'

It appears that running the deblobbing process corrupted this tar file
as I could not open it in Archive Manager.

I ran debuild for the source and had the output at
www.dpaste.com/1771512 where it apparently errs on trying to open that
file as a tar file.

What is the best way to deal with this, do I copy over the original tar
file?

Thanks
Dennis

Squeeze's tar file is compressed gzip, Wheezy's with xz. You
probably ended up with 2 tar files: 1 gz and 1 xz. Change

tar -czf

to

tar -cJf

to use xz compression.

Ok, thanks, I did so and the source build worked, I proceeded with the
debuild for the binaries and I got the error in the attached file.

This is the fun part where for every patch that breaks you either
disable the patch (comment out series entry) or check why it broke and
fix it. The former has an impact on security and features and might not
even be quicker in the end, because some patches depend on each other,
so you'd have to disable more and more patches as you go along.

Appears that the deblobbing removed blobs related to the
0013-powerpc-Allow-irq-threading.patch
