Details

Description: If users disable dvb support in the kernel, package_kernel26-headers fails with "cp: cannot stat `include/config/dvb/*.h': No such file or directory". The failing /bin/cp is in PKGBUILD where "cp include/config/dvb/*.h [...]" assumes that there indeed are such files to copy.

Here is a patch by JokerBoy that fixes it:

-cp include/config/dvb/*.h ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/
+[[ -e include/config/dvb/ ]] && cp include/config/dvb/*.h ${pkgdir}/usr/src/linux-${_kernver}/include/config/dvb/
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  fix the PKGBUILD for your needs

IMHO the kernel builds fine as it is configured, so I see no need to "fix" this. If you want to customize the config, you have to deal with these things yourself.

@JGC - I see your point, but in the interest of flexibility with regard to users building via ABS, I think it would be a value-added addition to the PKGBUILD: making it more "idiot-proof" if you will. Afterall, there is a commented out line for an nconfig in the PKGBUILD now...
