Caveats first: I know the package I'm referring to is from the aur -- the linux-pf kernel. I'm asking here rather than file a needless bug report for someone to have to squash. I also realize not everyone's whims can be considered or satisfied and don't expect such. However since the pkgbuild is crafted from the mainline pkgbuild this trivial change would, imho, make the pkgbuild more flexible. Below is the section I'm referring to. # http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11194 mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/" cp include/config/dvb/*.h "${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/" I understand the need for this as the main kernel builds the modules but would like to request one small change. # http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11194 mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/" if [ -a include/config/dvb/*.h ] ; then cp include/config/dvb/*.h "${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/" fi This allows one to build the kernel without having to build the dvb modules if they are not required. My build went fine so I think my bash is correct, but I haven't tested it with the dvb modules being built. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
