Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dkms
If a PRE_BUILD command is defined in a dkms.conf file, then it is
invoked as $dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/source/$pre_build in the
current working directory. This is incorrect behavior because PRE_BUILD
could modify or generate source files. Also note that
$dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/source/ is linked to
/usr/src/$module-$module_version/ and should be therefore be read-only
regardless.
Expected behavior is that PRE_BUILD be always invoked from the
$dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/build/ temporary area.
The attached patch results in the expected behavior. I noticed this
glitch because I'm working on a DKMS package for the ZFS filesystem; the
SPL module uses a configure script to create some things in the build
area.
