Description Mark Dominik Bürkle 2013-07-07 19:20:26 UTC

The file scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h is generated by kbuild and not removed by "make distclean". Most likely an ustream bug...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.9.2 # or .3 or .6 I guess any 3.9 version
2. cd /usr/src/linux-3.9.2-gentoo
3. copy your preferred .config
4. make oldconfig
5. make modules_prepare
6. make distclean
7. emerge --unmerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.9.2
Actual Results:  
one file is left: /usr/src/linux-3.9.2-gentoo/scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h

Expected Results:  
file should be removed by "make distclean".

gentoo-sources-3.10.0 behaves correctly, seems to be fixed there.

Workaround: remove the file (and directories above) by hand.

Yes, we patch minimal and I don't see it in genpatches; please report upstream at https://bugzilla.kernel.org and leave us a link to the upstream bug, thank you in advance. If you can't, let us know and we'll do it for you.
