Dear listmembers, after a longer absence from upgrading I decided to test openSUSE 10.2 after it had had been released. Performing the latest kernel update an IMHO unlucky modification in the name distribution popped up that I would like to discuss.
The directory /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34 is remaining after kernel update to 2.6.18.8 and a part of the modules are linked into a corresponding path within 2.6.18.8 from there. IMHO this is a very ugly way to do things. If there are modules that are *not* kernel specific the corresponding directory should be called different. Why keep a reference to a kernel that is actually no reference to this specific kernel? IMHO this directory should be named in such a way that it is easy to understand that the modules contained within it are to a certain degree version independent, such as /lib/modules/2.6.18-persistent or whatsoever. Keeping the old name is a poor and irritating choice. Just to point out my 2 cents here ...
