Package: kernel-package Version: 10.033 Severity: wishlist Hi!
According to the manpage, the current kernel-package provides no option to force a build link pointing to the installed linux-headers-* directory, if the original build dir still exists. This is really annoying in two of my setups: First, on my laptop I'm occasionally building *-rc* kernels for testing. Hence, the old kernel tree of a stable kernel is no longer available and building of external modules fails when switching back to a previously compiled stable kernel. Second, I'm compiling and installing kernels in a chroot-environment and this image is copied to many different computers. To save space, I don't copy the kernel source and this leaves a dangling symlink in the copy because at installation time the original kernel source was present. Please provide a really_force_build_link ;-) option with one of the next kernel-package version. regards, Joerg -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.2 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.13 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.13 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.15-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-2.95 [c-compiler] 1:2.95.4-24 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-12 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.5-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.2-8 The GNU C compiler ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.80+3.81.b4-1 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 0.9.2 manage translated Debconf template Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.5-12.1 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
