That explanation is IMHO a bit misleading. Fedora ships kernel-devel packages for all their kernels. Those contain everything from the source-tree that's needed to build out-of-tree modules -- Makefiles for example, but no real sources. Well, to be more precise: that is enought for out-of-tree modules that get shipped with proper Makefiles/Layout, which is the case for nearly every external module these days. The "website with a description how to produce a configured kernel source tree" exists as well, for people that want to build kernels the way the Fedora builds them, but want to apply additional patches/other sources. >> So this is as smooth as producing kernel-source RPM's gets? > I had no problems with the kernel-source.*.rpm approach. I think the Fedora approach has many benefits -- I always wondered why it never went upstream like a "make install_develstuff" that install all the needed bits to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ CU knurd - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
