[has patch] not building on edgy (kernel 2.6.17)

[Laurent Bigonville]

Binary package hint: sl-modem-source

Hi,

The slamr module is not building on edgy.

[KM (ubuntubug-acrasis)]

Same here.

Hi,
I fixed this problem by patching module.h as following:

--- linux-headers-2.6.17-10/include/linux/module.h 2006-09-23 05:19:15.000000000 +0200
+++ linux-headers-2.6.17-10.patched/include/linux/module.h 2006-12-11 23:42:48.000000000 +0100

 #define MODULE_PARM_DESC(_parm, desc) \
        __MODULE_INFO(parm, _parm, #_parm ":" desc)

+#define MODULE_PARM(_parm, desc) MODULE_PARM_DESC(_parm, desc)
+
 #define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type,name) \
   MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(type##_device,name)

Simply redefining MODULE_PARM via MODULE_PARM_DESC.

Just my $0.02.

The patch works for me, in that the package builds and installs. Sadly, my modem remains silent (bug 75553).

[Anthon Pang (anthon-pang)]

That patch isn't going to fly. MODULE_PARM was deprecated in 2003 and marked obsolete in 2004.

Eduard just uploaded a new release to Debian unstable.

http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sl-modem.html

Please, try that out.

[Alwin Garside (yogarine)]

Tried sl-modem-source from Debian Unstable, works perfectly. ;-)

Now get this bug fixed, please! :-o

[Mathieu Alorent (kumy)]

I've installed the debian source package, but every time I run
sudo module-assistant auto-install sl-modem-source

the debian package is remplaced by "sl-modem-source_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1_i386.deb"

Could anyone build a correct package for edgy please :)

  - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
  - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/s/sl-modem/sl-modem_2.9.11~20080817-1.dsc

  Please test it and report if your bugs got solved and any suggestions you've got.

Hello,

  For those who need a binary package, I have uploaded the package to my
  PPA (https://launchpad.net/~aelmahmoudy/+archive), also fixed an FTBFS
  for Intrepid. Binary packages for Hardy and Intrepid are available.

This is an old bug, is this something that still needs a fix in recent and supported ubuntu releases?
