Subject: scripts/package/Makefile: KBUILD_OUTPUT is useless in rpm build
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:35:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50FCE196.1070702@gmail.com> (raw)

I found KBUILD_OUTPUT variable is useless in the rpm-pkg and rpm target.

Yes there is a comment said:

# Note that the rpm-pkg target cannot be used with KBUILD_OUTPUT,
# but the binrpm-pkg target can; for some reason O= gets ignored.

It does not say for what reason. Also, the code under rpm-pkg checks if
KBUILD_OUTPUT is defined.

But the fact is, whether or not the user use "O=" option, KBUILD_OUTPUT
is always empty. I try to figure out why but the big Makefile drives me
crazy. I'm thinking if the "O=" option really don't effect KBUILD_OUTPUT
here, at least remove these code.
