[ltp] thinkpad modules for Linux 2.6 -- trial version available

[Thomas Hood]

OK, here is a first trial version of thinkpad 5.0.  To get it,
go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpctl/ and download
thinkpad_4.999-trial1.tar.gz and then follow the appropriate
set of instructions below.

Debian
~~~~~~
To build -base and -source packages, first make sure that the devscripts
and fakeroot packages are installed so that you can run the debuild
program.  Then,

    tar zxf thinkpad_4.999-trial1.tar.gz
    cd thinkpad-5.0
    debuild -us -uc

To install the packages you have just built, do the following
as root:

    dpkg -i <the-base-package> <the-source-package>

To build a -modules-2.6.0 package,

    cd /usr/src
    rm -rf modules/thinkpad
    tar zxf thinkpad.tar.gz
    cd linux-2.6.0
    make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot modules-image

To install the -modules-2.6.0 package, do the following as root:

    dpkg -i <the-modules-2.6.0-package>

other distros
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To build the modules, make sure that you are running Linux 2.6.0
and then,

    tar zxf thinkpad_4.999-trial1.tar.gz
    cd thinkpad-5.0
    ln -s 2.6/drivers .
    ln -s 2.6/include .
    make

To install them, do the following as root:

    make install

Thinkpad modules version 5.0 should work fine with tpctl version 4.
