Hi,
perhaps a bit off-topic but we had the discussion already a while ago, and I don't come further on what is the "Right Thing To Do".
My understanding after the last discussion is that:
- if one use a standard kernel, say kernel-image-2.6.10-1-k7
- one install as well kernel-headers-2.6.10-1-k7
- this and make-kpkg should be enough to compile the Debian way external modules (like pwc).
Nevertheless, if I try to compile pwc as non-root (how it should be, in my understanding), I get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.10-1-k7$ fakeroot make-kpkg --added_modules pwc-source modules_image
# work around idiocy in recent kernel versions
test ! -e scripts/package/builddeb || \
mv -f scripts/package/builddeb scripts/package/builddeb.dist
test ! -e scripts/package/Makefile || \
(mv -f scripts/package/Makefile scripts/package/Makefile.dist && \
(echo "# Dummy file "; echo "help:") > scripts/package/Makefile)
mv: cannot move `scripts/package/Makefile' to `scripts/package/Makefile.dist': Permission denied
make: *** [stamp-debian] Error 1
So, did I misunderstood something, or is someone/something else the culprit here?
Thanks, Eric

I created the pwc-source package [1] and now its in new queue pending to be included on sid [2]. Sean Finney its my sponsor but We have no experience on kernel modules packages. And We want to make pre-built modules for official debian kernel in order to make things easier to the users.
How this staff works? What source packages should I take a look?
