Bug#611806: linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common: scripts/basic/Makefile missing

[Brice Goglin <bgoglin@debian.org>]

Package: linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common
Version: 2.6.37-1~experimental.1
Severity: normal

Hello,

linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common misses scripts/basic/Makefile.
This file is needed by scripts/Makefile.build. For instance,
it breaks "make kernelrelease" which makes external module build
harder.

 $ make kernelrelease -C /lib/modules/2.6.37-trunk-amd64/build
 make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-amd64'
 /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common/scripts/Makefile.build:44:
  /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common/scripts/basic/Makefile: No such file or directory
 make[4]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-common/scripts/basic/Makefile'.  Stop.
 make[3]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
 2.6.37
 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-trunk-amd64'

The relevant Makefile.build code didn't change recently (it has
been including scripts/basic/Makefile since 2007) but the problem
didn't occur in the past (at least it works fine with 2.6.32-5
and 2.6.34-1). Now that 2.6.37 seems to use this code easierly,
scripts/basic/Makefile should be shipped in headers packages.

Thanks,
Brice
