Wait - the kernel development pattern includes more packages than needed for just building external modules, including large and potentially undesired ones like kernel-debug and kernel-um. The user might end up with kernel-debug being booted by default. So this pattern is the right thing for developers, but not for users who just want to build their favorite gfx driver. Adding yet another smaller pattern with just kernel-source, gcc and make for building external modules is probably overkill, we should not explode the number of patterns infinitely. >> - package kernel-source needs more discussion; adding a dependency to >> gcc and make here is IMHO actually more useful than the gcc dependencies >> within -devel packages. > > Could any of you file a bug, please? Maybe I'll do it once I'm really convinced that doing this is a good idea ;-) Or someone who is already convinced, go ahead and do it.
