KBUILD_IMAGE-reg

[Vijai Kumar K]

Hi All,

I see that we have moved from directly using KBUILD_IMAGE to "make image_name"
to decide the image to be included in the final deb package. Long ago when
I remember we could override KBUILD_IMAGE in the environment to include
the image of our choice in the deb pkg.

Is this possible now by any other means? Because there are times when I
would like to include vmlinux instead of vmlinuz and just wondering how
one could go about accomplishing that.

Thanks,
Vijai Kumar K

I checked the old code, but I think it is unrelated to
the image_name conversion.

As far as I saw the code, it is not possible to
override it from the environment variable,
but possible from the command line.

make bindeb-pkg KBUILD_IMAGE=vmlinux

might work?
