Package: vmware-package Version: 0.11 Severity: normal Hi,
I have not yet been able to build any kernel modules since the new, python-written vmware-package was uploaded to unstable. Build of the kernel module .deb fails, regardless of whether I use vmware-kernel-source or vmware-any-any-kernel-source. I build with make-kpkg modules_image from a vanilla kernel directory (non-Debian sources). When I use vmware-any-any, I see that the build process uses the "standalone build system", which I have never been able to successfully complete. The vmware-package that I used to maintain before I gave up the package to the current maintainership had to patch vmware-any-any to force it to use the "2.6.x kernel build system", which succeeds with my build process. It would probably be helpful if I could see a typescript of a successful process of building a kernel and corresponding vmware-kernel modules so that I can find out what goes wrong on my systems. Currently, the rewritten vmware-package is a regression for me, I cannot use it.
