Mock 1.1.5 /finally/ fixes the bug surrounding making the /dev/fd
symlink exist in the build chroot which is used by the kABI scripts. A
more detailed explanation of that is here:
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2010-May/007793.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526414
The kmodtool source I used is this:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmodtool-el6
Can we have one magic kmodtool script to rule them all? I'm not sure.
There are some differences between kABI and kmodv2. The ELRepo folks
have opted for always including the kmodtool in the src.rpm. I think it
would be fairly reasonable to have one kmodtool for each packaging
standard.
our kmodtool is provided in the kmodtool package in fedora devel.
So the changes need to get merged in.
There is no point in providing the script within the kmod src.rpm
given that the maintainance cost will remains.
For the record, the version we used in rpmfusion has other benefit we
still want to have,specially in rhel6 branches, IIRC.
So please submit a patch against the fedora version of the kmodtool package.
Thx
