Well, that's why I build kernels packaged up in .deb format; it's much
easier to scp a .deb file over to a test machine and install it. The
take-home here is that "make deb-pkg" and "make rpm-pkg" should
ideally create bare-bones linux-image, linux-headers, and
linux-debuginfo packages. Maybe no distribution will ever use it, but
it will be invaluable for kernel developers.
The good news is that a member of the Debian kernel team member
contacted me off-line and mentioned that he plans to work with Sam to
send a patch series to get "make deb-pkg" working again, and in the
long term with proper debuginfo support. Maybe someone will be
inspired to enhance "rpm-pkg" to do the right thing.
