As of Kernel 6.3 I'm unable to create a Debian package the way I used to, by running "make deb-pkg -j#" It throws the error as below: error: creating source package requires git repository scripts/Makefile.package:40: recipe for target 'check-git' failed make[1]: *** [check-git] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Not a git repository Any way I can go back and create a Debian package pre 6.3? Thanks

I just tried it and was able to build the package successfully. Quick question - What's the difference between the 2 builds?

Your question makes it sounds like you don't need the source package, hence I assume you are satisfied with the workaround? If yes, I'd put this to rest

If yes, I'd put this to rest After comparing the 2 commands, I can confirm I don't need the source. Thanks for the help, ticket may be closed :)
