[Pkg-mol-devel] Bug#412763: mol-source: creates an empty package in case of failure

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: mol-source
Version: 0.9.71.dfsg-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm refering to building a package with make-kpkg[1]. If any failure
occurs while building the modules and no module is created, an empty
package is created. The error while building is not reflected to the exit
code of the creation process. IMO the make call for the subdirectories in
mol/Makefile should not ignore the return value.

% sed -n 31,37p ../modules/mol/Makefile
# descend into subdirectories and build modules
.PHONY: $(SUBDIRS)
build:  $(SUBDIRS)
$(SUBDIRS):
        -$(MAKE) -C $(KSRC) M=`pwd`/$@

# descend into subdirectories and install the modules

Bye, Jörg.
