Mac80211 with backports-6.14-rc7 info field 'version' has invalid value

Hi,

I trying out the 6.14-rc backports, after some tweakings here and there it now compiles successfully however as part of the apk build process I am getting the following

/home/rmandrad/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/fakeroot /home/rmandrad/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/apk mkpkg --info "name:kmod-cfg80211" --info "version:6.6.83.6.14-rc7-r1" --info "description:cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API." --info "arch:aarch64_cortex-a53" --info "license:GPL-2.0-only" --info "origin:feeds/base/kernel/mac80211" --info "url:https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/" --info "maintainer:Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>" --info "provides:"  --script "post-install:/home/rmandrad/openwrt/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/linux-mediatek_filogic/mac80211-regular/backports-6.14-rc7/apk-aarch64_cortex-a53/kmod-cfg80211/post-install" --script "pre-deinstall:/home/rmandrad/openwrt/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/linux-mediatek_filogic/mac80211-regular/backports-6.14-rc7/apk-aarch64_cortex-a53/kmod-cfg80211/pre-deinstall" --info "depends:kernel=6.6.83~58405ef31e31ae1eae25b543a049b3a7-r1 iw iwinfo wifi-scripts wireless-regdb" --files "/home/rmandrad/openwrt/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/linux-mediatek_filogic/mac80211-regular/backports-6.14-rc7/ipkg-aarch64_cortex-a53/kmod-cfg80211" --output "/home/rmandrad/openwrt/bin/targets/mediatek/filogic/packages/kmod-cfg80211-6.6.83.6.14-rc7-r1.apk" --sign "/home/rmandrad/openwrt/private-key.pem"
ERROR: info field 'version' has invalid value: package version is invalid
ERROR: failed to create package: package version is invalid

any way to bypass the apk creation for mac80211 ... some parameter on the Makefile .. this is just for testing and when eventually 6.14 comes out it should work otherwise i will just strip out the rc7 string.Thank you

unpacked the tar file, rename the folder removing the rc7 string and repacked the tar file... the apk packaging process doesn't like this additional string

Well... Not sure if this issue has been solved in the meantime, I just hit something similar on the main tree. Needed a 'make dirclean' to make it go away.
