Why don't you just separate the library from the kernel at all, making it a similar package. We depend on a few external, kernel-specific packages anyway, and depending on libkconfig wouldn't make the situation worse. Instead people could keep their tools build one time around in /usr/{local/,}bin (especially important with qt-monsters :)) and if there is a change in the language Documentation/Changes would get updated to the new required version and people had to update it, similar to the gcc situation for a new development kernel. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
