Bugs in PKGBUILD of linux-3.5.3-1?

building original linux-3.5.3-1 package from abs failed.

In PKGBUILD(_package function):
   ....
   mv "$pkgdir/lib" "$pkgdir/usr"

   # Now we call depmod...
   depmod -b "$pkgdir" -F System.map "$_kernver"
   ....

It seems to be a wrong path to modules. I modified it to:

   depmod -b "$pkgdir/usr" -F System.map "$_kernver"

then the compilation succeeded.

which version is correct?

You have to make a slight modification to the kernel PKGBUILD due to a change in kmod 10-1 ( rootprefix was removed ).
In this case  mv "$pkgdir/lib" "$pkgdir/usr" is done AFTER the depmod line ... you can just copy/paste it, and you should be all set.

Leave everything else as-is

[arch-dev-public] had a notification about this, the fix is already applied to the PKGBUILD but probably not the abs one (yet).

Thanks to ngoonee and opensrcrox!

this commit diff can simplely solve the problem, as you suggested.
