Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/11 v2] pkg-kernel-module: new infra to ease building kernel modules (branch yem/kernel-modules)
Quoted 10 lines · Yann E. MORIN

Hello All,

On 2015-06-10 21:22 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:

Quoted 2 lines

This series introduces a new infrastructure to help writing packages that build kernel modules.

I'll mark this series as "Changes Requested" in patchwork, because I took Jeremy's comment into account, and because I was able to improve it yet a bit more and convert one more kernel-module-providing package (namely, nvidia-driver; who would have thought it would be possible? ;-) ).

Early feedback on that one:

NVIDIA_DRIVER_HEADERS_H -> NVIDIA_DRIVER_MODULE_BUILD_HEADERS

Commit message should explain why the custom install isn't needed anymore either.

Regards,
Arnout

So, I'll respin later, but I'm still interested in reviews on this iteration.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
