As I understand it, Manoj suggested to _optionally_ create/remove the symlinks in _kernel-headers_ packages. > Pro : Well, i will let manoj's reply here, didn't find any pro item > myself. > > Con : doesn't allow building out of tree module without installing > linux-image for every flavour we want to build too, and as we > were trying to make this policy for module builds ... Wrong - if I understand correctly that Manoj was referring to -headers packages and not -image packages. > Martin's solution : instead of looking at > only /lib/modules/<version> to see if modules where installed, > actually do a find /lib/modules/<version> -name \*.ko, and search for > real modules. As I understand it Martin actually agreed with Manoj in his latest email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
