Issues with next hpklinux release: 4.20.36

[alexolivan]

Hi!

Yesterday I was told about recent release 4.20.36 for AudioScience driver. I inspected their Ubuntu PPA repo and I found 4.20.36 being offered for 'focal' release... meaning official support for more recent Kernels...

I have tried building the hpklinux packages using this repo, but I have found two issues:

1 - Naming convention: New driver comes as hpklinux_4.20.36-g76c09bc Using 4.20.36 within prepare_build.sh debian/postinst debian/prerm and debian/rules does not work... instead, the whole 4.20.36-g76c09bc string has to be used to get the contents in the directory.

2 - Some hardcoded reference to 4.20.35? Package building fails:

alex@debian:~/LocalRepositories/debian-hpklinux/hpklinux_4.20.36-g76c09bc$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package hpklinux

Best regards.
