Well, I believe that the real problem is that you disagree about this (from the proposed new module plan): > Each modules should build packages using the > KSRC=/lib/modules/<version>-<abi>-<flavour>/build, which is the > default KSRC recomended by upstream and which every module out there > use. Manoj seem to not want to change what has worked for a long time: Using what with the new kernel package names is KSRC=/usr/src/<linux-headers-<version>-<abi>-<flavour> I understand the point of wanting to support /lib/modules/... as a valid reference for source location, but I do not know if that location is universally agreed upon. And it seems to me that Manoj is not breaking things, but refusing to _change_ (and possibly improve) something that is not broken. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDbyTQn7DbMsAkQLgRArCfAJkBFWPLB/DddDuQOLc6jRSxzV5KRQCfY1P3 ApRZxQsKxdFoschCFV5W8Xs= =Fwyn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
