[Pkg-oss4-maintainers] Bug#653374: oss4-dkms build fails

[Michel Briand]

Package: oss4-dkms
Version: 4.2-build2005-1
Severity: important

Hello,

the driver fails to install. The error seems to be related to the build of the 
driver. But in fact this is the CLEAN target in dkms.conf that causes an error 
that prevent the driver from being installed.

I've sent an email to Pkg-oss4-maintainers mailing list to signal about this 
bug.

The problems seems to come from the dkms.conf file in
/usr/src/oss4-4.2-build2004.

There are two errors: the "escaping" of dir variable,
and the cd ../.. which go up two levels instead of one.

The CLEAN variable :

CLEAN="for dir in core drivers; do \
cd $$dir ; \
rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c *.mod.o .*.cmd core core.* x y z ; \
rm -rf .tmp_versions ; \
cd ../.. ; \
done"

should be fixed like this :

CLEAN="for dir in core drivers; do \
cd \\\$dir ; \
rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c *.mod.o .*.cmd core core.* x y z ; \
rm -rf .tmp_versions ; \
cd .. ; \
done"

The problem is the same.

Patch proposed:
===============

please try the change proposed above or the patch attached. 
Both solved the problem.

The command:

# dpkg-reconfigure oss4-dkms

rebuilds the driver. And all is working again.


Please fix this error asap.

Kind regards,
Michel
