DKMS Install on Fedora Server 39

[AndrewKhitrin]

I have installed amneziwg linux kernel module from amneziavpn repository as as described in the readme :

dnf install amneziawg-dkms amneziawg-tools

The module is displayed in DKMS in the status "added" :

# dkms status

amneziawg/1.0.20240213: added

I'm getting a error, while building amneziawg kernel module via DKMS (dkms build -m amneziawg/1.0.20240213, BTW package python3-devel is required for some build steps) :

..........

Looks like some package and Makefile version mismatch.

Installation scripts were improved. Is it reproduced on the latest version?

seems like problem in both RHEL9.4 and AlmaLinux9.4 i have already installed the needed dependency the name in the official repost is: python3-3.9.18-3.el9_4.1.x86_64 and it is identified as so.

I have installed amneziwg linux kernel module from amneziavpn repository as as described in the readme:

As temporary workaround:
In /var/lib/dkms/amneziawg/1.0.20240711/source/prepare-sources.sh:
Change line 86 from cd "$(ls -d */)" || exit 255 to cd "$(ls -I '*SPECPARTS' ./)" || exit 255
And then

# dkms build amneziawg/1.0.20240711
# dkms install amneziawg/1.0.20240711

prepare-sources was improved specially for Fedora in latest packages, please check it out.

prepare-sources works fine for me with Fedora 40
