consider that you clone kvm-kmod from your repo and then create local clones from which you do the build. If you don't happen to have /path/to/my/kvm-kmod/../kvm, then the relative submodule URL won't work, but the absolute one will. Since the absolute URL wouldn't break anything AFAIK, but makes this scenario work, I'd favour it, although my life would not be much worse with the relative default URL ;-) Cheers, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
