But ask Leigh for details.
Ok, thanks. ...
Do we need that added to powerpc-utils perhaps?
Whatever is powerpc-utils ? Mmm, maybe, but then maybe mkvmlinuz would benefit
WTF is mkvmlinuz?
mkvmlinuz is a nice little kernel-derived tool by Jens and me, which allows
one to create a zImage.chrp, or zImage.coff or whatever, from the
arch/ppc/boot/* stuff and the plain vmlinux kernel. It avoids having to chip
the same kernel X times as we did on 2.4 kernels, and can be used as a
kernel-package postinst hook to automate this process.

from being added there too, not sure. In any way i believe it has more its
place inside mkvmlinuz, than inside the more userland powerpc-utils.
Whatever. Just thought people might want to use it to change kernel
options on the fly, without invoking mkvmlinuz.
Well, we would need at least a .udeb containing it. IF you can add it to
powerpc-tools, then nice. I think that maybe mkvmlinuz would be also a
candidate to be part of the powerpc-tools, not sure though.
