Re: RFH: perle-serial-source / dh_installmodules



Hi,

previous: i may be wrong with what i will tell you further, as i did not
build kernel module packages yet.

Well i can't build the binary-modules target. because compilation does
have a lot of errors, but this might be because of my kernel
(2.6.16+openvz). Anyways - i had a look at your debian/rules files and
as far as i know you have to call dh_installdeb, if you want to be those
snippets that dh_installmodules should create in your postinst/postrm
script.

Another note: I don't know much about kernel module building, but if it
is build in a "normal build environment" such as every other package, it
does not seem to be wise to use a destdir=/usr/src/linux/.. - because
normally you don't build debs with *real* root rights, but with fakeroot
or something which would fail in this case. But again: I may be wrong,
because i don't have any experience with kernel modules building yet.

Hopefully i could help you

Best Regards
