>Just out of curiosity, as it looks inconsistent (but I guess there might be a deeper reasoning behind if): why has one variable a "PACKAGE" prefix (with underscore behind it), and two a "SPECK" prefix (with no underscore after it) and the other one no prefix at all? @knurd42, variables prefixed with SPEC are those variables that are copied into the specfile. Other variables currently have no naming convention. I added the "SPEC" rule because it was not possible to track which variables directly affected the SPEC file and which were used for other reasons in the Makefile. FWIW, I don't like PACKAGE_NAME either. I considered changing it to PKGNAME but unfortunately there are SIGs and likely other clones using it. the kernel-rt group certainly is setting PACKAGE_NAME="kernel-rt" for their builds. Changing it would require a significant effort for those groups and it isn't a big deal. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
