Package: vaiostat-source
Version: 1.2-7
Kernel: 2.6.18-1-686

First a bug I've seen for a while, then secondly one
or two details that should probably be made more
explicit in the instructions:

1) When I try to compile vaiostat-source, I get these
errors:
===START QUOTE====
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make
rm -f build-stamp
[ -x /bin/test ] || plususr=/usr ; \
        $plususr/bin/test -w

                plus='-o include/config/MARKER' ; \

===END QUOTE====

Looking at line 329 and 332, the problem would appear
to be the MODULE_PARM entry. A quick google of it
suggested that it is deprecated:
http://lwn.net/Articles/107303/

So I comment both instances out and I get a good
compile:
===START QUOTE====
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make clean
rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c .*.cmd
rm -f build-stamp
rm -f -r .tmp_versions
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make
rm -f build-stamp
[ -x /bin/test ] || plususr=/usr ; \
        $plususr/bin/test -w
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686/include/config ||
\
                plus='-o include/config/MARKER' ; \
        make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/vaiostat $plus modules
make[1]: Entering directory

        case $release in 2.[01234].*) ext=o ;; *)
ext=ko ;; esac ; \
        install -D -m644 vaiostat.$ext
/lib/modules/$release/misc/vaiostat.$ext
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat#
===END QUOTE====

(Success)

2) I have to manually set these two env vars for it to
compile:
 export KVERS=linux-headers-2.6.18-1
 export KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686

Thanks!

Vaiostat has now been removed from unstable, because nobody stepped
forwards to fix it after it had been offered for adoption for more
than a year (see bug #321693). The remaining bug reports are thus
irrelevant now, so I hereby close them.
