Where is the changelog for Ubuntu kernels?
Where can I find the changelog between versions of the kernel released for Ubuntu 10.04? Note that I need to find the changelog for 10.04 from an 11.04 system, so if I have to, I can run a VM for this purpose.
"Why do I need the kernel changelog?" you may ask. I need it because I'm going to package a custom build of the kernel for myself onto a PPA I own, and I need the changelog to show my changes to the kernel in addition to all previous changes done by the Ubuntu developers.
The latest version of the kernel for Ubuntu can be seen on Launchpad. See all current changelogs here:
- http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+changelog
That should tell you what changed in each release.
Given that your main aim is to build your own kernel packages though, you might be better off following these guides:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
You could also add the relevant repos for lucid (it will not harm your system, given that the packages have older version number, so are ignored in dist-upgrade), update the cache and use the command
apt-get changelog linux-image-$version
