Bug#531668: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#531668: alsa-driver autoconf script is broken
Hi Ben, thank you very much for your cooperation! * Ben Hutchings [100327 04:06 +] Here is a debdiff for all the required changes in alsa-driver to work with 2.6.32. This adds a call to autoconf at build time and modifies a couple of existing patches accordingly. You should also delete debian/patches/disable_gcc_version_check2.patch. What I don't understand is: Why does the debian package build against a plain, vanilla build? There we have both the same for /lib/modules/$(KVERS)/build and /lib/modules/$(KVERS)/source which are different to the Debian kernels. If I merge source and build from the Debian ones, alsa drivers are build well. If your patch is needed to get alsa drivers build against Debian kernels this is a Debian specific solution. BTW, IIRC the drivers build well till Debain-2.6.26 or so. This is a bit suspicious for me. As well I noticed no bug against upstream version which is similar to ours There is a new bug coming up from 2.6.33. Here we have include/generated which is unknown to make-kpkg modules-image.

Please do send the patches upstream. BTW, IIRC the drivers build well till Debain-2.6.26 or so. This is a bit suspicious for me.

Unfortunately, due to strong package ownership in Debian, people take it personally when their packages turn out to be obsolete.
