------- Comment #5 from dominique.leuenberger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  2006-11-13 07:18 MST -------
Andreas,

I think my assumption were still not that wrong.
The directory /usr/include/linux (linux-kernel-headers)
and /usr/src/linux/include/linux (part of kernel-source)

are almost completely identical and the latter is what was required to install
vmware tools.

A complete diff over these two directories gives very few differences (normal,
as it's a diff between 2.6.18 and 2.6.18.2 headers).

So I think the linux-kernel-headers is mostly obsoletable by kernel-source (or
even better be split out of kernel-source).
For having the location /usr/include/linux it would be nice just to have a link
to /usr/src/linux/include/linux

Doing so, I think, there would be no confusion about these things anymore.

What do you think? It would be one package less (linux-kernel-headers) to
maintain, as it could be split out of kernel-source with the SPEC File.
