Details

Description:

Please consider adding /usr/src to the list of known directories. It is used for kernel module sources, e.g., DKMS-based packages (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=-dkms). Also it can contain vendor-shipped binary ELF files (as in nvidia-dkms).

See also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support#namcap_output

Additional info:
* namcap 3.2.7-1

Steps to reproduce:
> namcap nvidia-dkms-367.27-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
nvidia-dkms W: File (usr/src/) exists in a non-standard directory.
…
nvidia-dkms E: ELF file ('usr/src/nvidia-367.27/nvidia/nv-kernel.o_binary') outside of a valid path.

As a note: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html#usrsrcSourceCode

But you are still going to get errors from namcap after I fix this bug. Because it is for "source code reference" any binary files such as nv-kernel.o_binary will generate an error.

Fixed in commit 005277b.

Thanks, this sounds sane. For my own, similar package I just moved the binary object file to /usr/lib/${pkgname}.
