From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060103 Fedora/1.5-4 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.kernelrelease missing from the kernel-devel package Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.1861_FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Grab a third party module source, or a module extracted from the kernel tree with a makefile instructing it to be built. For example the ip_wccp module found at http://www.squid-cache.org/WCCP-support/Linux/ 2. cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build 3. make M=/path/to/custom/module_sources modules modules_install Actual Results: The module gets installed into /lib/modules//extra/ Expected Results: the module should have been installed into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ directory. Additional info: Workaround: uname -r >/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.kernelrelease
Created attachment 123558 [details] Include .kernelrelease in the -devel package trivial patch adding the file to the distributed -devel package. Untested, but should work I think..
fixed in rawhide, thanks. any reason this hasn't been submitted upstream btw ?
I didn't see much reason to report problem in your specfile upstream.. I normal kernel build obviously creates the file where it is supposed to be, the problem was just that it was not copied over to your kernel-devel package, used for building custom modules without the whole kernel sources..
no, I meant pushing your wccp module :-)
