From 3d1450d54a4fc277fc4598acf2335f74b66b08fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 20:26:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Force gzip and xz on module install Running `make modules_install` ordinarily will overwrite existing modules. This is the desired behavior, and is how pretty much every other `make install` target works. However, if CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS is enabled, modules are passed through gzip and xz which then do the file writing. Both gzip and xz will error out if the file already exists, unless -f is passed. This patch adds -f so that the behavior is uniform. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
