Subject: Re: Removing .tmp_versions considered harmful
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:55:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1145908527.2292.39.camel@dv> (raw)

Hello, Sam!

How about following patch?  Something needs to be done before 2.6.17.
Complaints about .tmp_versions are almost in every list about wireless
drivers I'm subscribed to.

I'm not asking to keep *.mod files, just please keep the .tmp_versions
directory.

-------------------------------
Remove *.mod files but not .tmp_versions for external builds

From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

When "make install" is run as root, .tmp_versions is re-created and
becomes owned by root.  Subsequent "make" run by user fails because
.tmp_versions cannot be removed.
