Yeah, I love make-kpkg. module-assistant makes this even easier, and is the direction in which I think people should move; having started to use it, it's an improvement even over make-kpkg. > As far as automatically building the source is concerned, the kernel > headers for the currently installed kernel would need to be installed as > well.

There will be a lot of cases in which automatic building won't be possible, in which case the package can say so and point people in the right direction. I think the goal is more to get the 80% cases automatically and not worry too much about the edge cases. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
