An option to emerge is much more intuitive. However, it prevents packages from DEPENDing on it. For example, if the=20 kernels were to ever use the genkernel thing, nvidia-kernel might DEPEND on= =20 nvidia-kernel if it actually needed the source for it. I also don't think i= t=20 should automaticly provide the package it is the source for until the user= =20 uses ebuild to install/merge it into the system. > > > Oh and the kernel packages that would compile the kernel should install > > the kernel headers of the compiled kernel to > > /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/include/ > > so that any package that needs the real kernel headers can find them. > Er, I'm pretty sure that the packages that need the source in > /usr/src/linux need more than just the headers - but don't quote me on > that! I can't think of any valid reason they would need to do so, but I've never= =20 done much of anything with the kernel. =2D --=20 Luke-Jr Developer, Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/ =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/gD6ZZl/BHdU+lYMRAo+mAJ48Zu/YNRmBBbiLQm4ou6L+2MiBGQCeL2uq xNvWJzLh5tDwbA+utGXtwGY=3D =3D4Ilp =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
