[SOLVED]Help - PKGBUILD for vhba module (cdemu user mounting of iso's)

I've got a working PKGBUILD for vhba module, a part of the cdemu package for user mounting of iso/img's. But with the new module handling of newer kernels it's a bit cumbersome to manually adjust the script to each new kernel. Here's the code;

_kernver='3.2.5-1-ARCH'

Is there a way to automate the versioning here? Like "$variable-ARCH"?

Almost the same applies to this;

"$pkgdir/lib/modules/extramodules-3.2-ARCH/vhba.ko"

Any hints appreciated! I'm on a learning curve here.

SOLVED:

_kernver=$(uname -r)
MOD_DIR=${_kernver:0:3}

and for install:

install -D vhba.ko "$pkgdir/lib/modules/extramodules-$MOD_DIR-ck/vhba.ko" || return 1

Now I wish I could figure out a way to extract the ending chars of uname -r, which for standard kernel is ARCH and for CK is ck. Meaning; the variable for that would be of different lengths, depending of the kernel in use; ARCH, ck,  zen and so on.

thanks for this fix.  Have I have to do this whenever I upgrade my kernel (ck) or else the vhba module doesn't load.  Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes, that's way it is.
