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.

What about posting it as a comment on the AUR page or as a reply on the linux-pf forum thread [1] as they seem a better place for that kind of request?

i thought the op meant to suggest this change to the repo linux package to ease all possible abs rebuilds.

This type of thing has always been a pain for me with a custom .config.

To All: Rather than use the bbs I posted the same here on the aur page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50956 nous's answer says it all. Matthew has it right. The post was here to see about changing the repo linux package to ease all possible abs and aur builds/rebuilds. The change makes (imho) the build system more flexible and hopefully wind up with fewer borked custom package builds that work on one system then have to be reworked when someone wants to use them somewhere else.
