If i just require kernel-source there is a risk it > builds against wrong kernel? But also the possibility that the user wants it this way. For win4lin it is a bit different (since patches are likely to differ between stock and multi-media), but win4lin SRPMS can have tighter requires then. For most kernel modules, there should be no need to change anything on the package to make it work on mm kernels vs stock kernels, so there is no reason to have mutliple SRPMS. > win4lin-multimedia should just require > kernel-source-multimedia? Or alternatively i can let the source conflict with > normal kernel. wdyt? Once again, win4lin-multi-media is a bit different, from say ltmodem, NVIDIA etc kernel modules, which should be able to build against any kernel-source. I see kernel-multimedia does not provide kernel, is there any reason why I should not be able to have only a multimedia kernel? I'll have to consider some changes in some packages, which were using output of 'rpm -q kernel-source' for kernel revision, but ideally we should allow to compile kernel modules with multiple kernel-source packages installed, package version determined by where /usr/src/linux points to (version.sh in the Mandrake NVIDIA RPMs like the one I mailed on the club list should get this right AFAIK).
