>Ohh, and another quick comment: with all the changes you are currently preparing for the makefiles, how hard would it be to start making things like this a bit more neutral for non-RHEL platforms? Something like s/RHEL_RELEASE/ARK_RELEASE/ maybe? I've seen two trains of thought on these types of changes and I'm leaning towards not making these types of changes. The first, is that changing RHEL/rhel references to ARK/(ark or dist) is not worth it and is a significant amount of change. It's also a headache for the RHEL maintainers when ARK is snapshotted for a particular RHEL release. The second, which is one you are advocating for, is that we should be (as you said) "more neutral" for non-RHEL clones. There is some merit in that, but one comment I heard when I tried to de-rhel-ify some of the code and Makefiles was that it wasn't worth it to make these types of changes. Of course, as with all things code related, I can be convinced otherwise. _______________________________________________ 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
