Package: zd1211-source Version: 0.0.0.svn67-2 Severity: wishlist
It would be great if there was a way to build zd1211b.ko with module-assistant. I'm not currently sure what the best method to approach it from would be. Since the source changes a makefile variable, I could see it being done one of three ways: 1) Pass a environment variable: BUILD_ZD1211B=1 m-a a-i zd1211 2) Make a second -source package (zd1211b-source?) 3) Make the debian/rules script build both modules. There are downsides to each: 1) requires some way of passing information to m-a users, since most just run m-a without ever looking at the source package. It's also the only module I know of that would require this hack. 2) is space-wasteful. We're flipping 1 bit, in one file in an archive, and for that we're going to package it twice? 3) requires 2 passes through the build process. Not overly painful on a modern machine, but it also installs both modules. Since the homepage indicates that only one zd1211* device may be used at a time, I don't know what the possible ramifications are of having both zd1211 and zd1211b in the kernel at the same time are. I suspect 3) is the "right" way to go, but it, too, seems like a hack.
