https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229495 Summary: Provide separate package with kernel headers Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mludvig@logix.net.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de Most (if not all) 3rd party kernel modules need kernel headers of the particular kernel version for compilation. Currently one has to install the whole kernel-source package which needs almost 0.5 GB on the disk to get just the headers. How about providing a separate kernel-headers (or kernel-devel) package with only the headers but not with the rest of the kernel source tree? That's the way Debian or Ubuntu do it. It would save megabytes of traffic and disk space and would be enough for those who only want to compile e.g. VMware modules but are not going to recompile the kernel itself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
