Subject: lm-sensors-source should install a tarball of the source tree rather
than the source tree itself
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0004191557110.9125-100000@localhost>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: lm-sensors-source
Version: 2.4.4-1
Severity: wishlist
This package installs all its source files into /usr/src/modules/lm-sensors.
This contrasts with other kernel module source packages (e.g. the alsa sound
modules) and the kernel source itself which store a tarball of the source
tree in /usr/src (at least for my frozen Debian distribution).
An ordinary user account can unpack the tarball in /usr/src to a
user-account area and compile it as an ordinary user using fakeroot. (This
is one of the suggested methods for the make-kpkg command.) (There is also
the option of unpacking in the /usr/src area itself as a root account user
and compiling there as root. However, for security reasons it is best to do
as little as possible with root so I believe many users prefer to use the
fakeroot method.)
If I use cp -a of /usr/src/modules/lm-sensors to my preferred user-account
kernel-tree area, then make-kpkg does work (if I setenv MODULE_LOC
appropriately), and I can create as an ordinary user the lm-sensors binary
modules deb. Subsequently, I have installed and proved that this created
module package works fine.
Thus, everything works for me with the cp -a option to my preferred user
location for kernel modules so my only gripe is the disk-consuming and messy
source tree structure left under /usr/src/modules. (I could delete that, but
only to see it filled up again for the next update of the package.) I would
just prefer to see this source tree replaced by the equivalent compressed
tarball under /usr/src. This arrangement is the one used for the alsa
modules package and especially the kernel source package, and I think the
lm-sensors-source package should just follow their lead.
