Hi all,

 

I find that the kmod template in rpmfusion(http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2) seems a bit old.

 

e.g.

Still using old Old syntax make ... SUBDIRS=$PWD

make install in %install section cannot work properly on many modern kernel modules.

 

So I make some minor changes for this template, maybe its useful for someone.

 

%build
for kernel_version in %{?kernel_versions}; do
    make %{?_smp_mflags} -C "${kernel_version##*___}" SUBDIRS=${PWD}/_kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*} modules
done
->

%build
for kernel_version in %{?kernel_versions}; do
    make %{?_smp_mflags} -C "${kernel_version##*___}" M=${PWD}/_kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*} modules
done

%install
rm -rf ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}

for kernel_version in %{?kernel_versions}; do
    make install DESTDIR=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} KMODPATH=%{kmodinstdir_prefix}/${kernel_version%%___*}/%{kmodinstdir_postfix}
    # install -D -m 755 _kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*}/foo/foo.ko  ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{kmodinstdir_prefix}/${kernel_version%%___*}/%{kmodinstdir_postfix}/foo.kmod
done
->

%install
rm -rf ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}

for kernel_version in %{?kernel_versions}; do
    make  -C "${kernel_version##*___}" M=${PWD}/_kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*}  _emodinst_ INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} INSTALL_MOD_DIR=%{kmodinstdir_postfix}

or

#

make  -C "${kernel_version##*___}" M=${PWD}/_kmod_build_${kernel_version%%___*}  _emodinst_ INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} ext-mod-dir=%{kmodinstdir_postfix}
 done

 

One thing that I'm still not sure is choosing between INSTALL_MOD_DIR and ext-mod-dir. If we set ext-mod-dir, then all ko files will go into one directory even those ko files are in the subdirectoris of M dir. On the contray, INSTALL_MOD_DIR will preserve subdirectories in M dir. I don't know which one is better.

 

e.g.

xtables-addons-kmod

The ko files before installing are located in four dirs M, M/ipset, M/pknock and M/ACCOUNT.

Definitions of  INSTALL_MOD_DIR and ext-mod-dir in Makefile.modinst

 

# Modules built outside the kernel source tree go into extra by default
INSTALL_MOD_DIR ?= extra
ext-mod-dir = $(INSTALL_MOD_DIR)$(subst $(patsubst %/,%,$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)),,$(@D))

modinst_dir = $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD),$(ext-mod-dir),kernel/$(@D))
