Package: virtualbox-ose-source
Version: 2.1.0-dfsg-1
Severity: important
Hi!
The new version of virtualbox-ose-source (2.1.0-dfsg-1) has an "empty"
Makefile.
After extracting /usr/src/virtualbox-ose.tar.bz2, we have in
/usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose/Makefile:
.NOTPARALLEL:
obj-m = vboxdrv/ vboxnetflt/
With older versions (1.6.6-dfsg-3 and 2.0.6-dfsg-1) it was possible to only
extract it, cd into /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose, make and make install.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nelson

So this is not empty, is it? Instead it does contain all information needed to
compile both directories ot of tree. This is the way kernel modules are
supposed to be build.

This is still possible, those two Makefile's are in the corresponding
subdirectories. Please note that the guest utils are using the same setup for
quite some time.
With "make install" not being the preferred way to install modules I do not
consider this a bug and therefore close it.
