I have been making my own kernels for years and I never use mrproper. SuSE
does not recomend it in their own instructions. It's not even mentioned.
Don't say that I don't read your posts carefully ;-)
If it is not mentioned than we don't know what they think about it.
:-)
Though, they are developers, so they would know how to remove it if it can
damage openSUSE specific settings, or adjust not to delete openSUSE patches
that are not yet included in upstream kernel.
No need! .-)
They wrote instructions on how to make a kernel in suse: we are supposed
to follow those to do things "the suse way". Many packages contain a
readme.suse where they tell differences between the standard and the suse
ways.
So, yes, the standard talks about mrproper (and they also explain what for
and when), but the suse readme doesn't - so better don't use it. They
explain the procedure step by step.
In any case, if you just installed the kernel-source rpm from suse, you
sure don't need mrproper, not even a "make clean". The sources are ready
and clean for your first use :-)
