I see, people who compile their kernel as root in /usr/src/linux directly break the /usr/src/linux-obj/... builddirs. But I would argue that people who do the above and people who build KMPs are two almost distinct groups :)
Not quite. Let's say they just start compilation in /usr/src/linux, but then go on using the regular kernel and then decide to build some module. There it goes boom.
And I opted to leave the devel part in /usr/src/linux because more specfiles and Makefiles depend on it.
Yes, but then many people "depend" on the /usr/src/linux location to contain full sources of the kernel
Again, I see no reason for this dependence; it is a result of projects with flawed design. I thus urge you to pick all of the five patches to flag up these broken packages.
Hi Jan, I merged the branch (commit 54e2592), but I reverted the /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-src move. I agree that it would make it harder for users to shoot themselves in the foot, but the costs are 1) bugreports / complaints from users who can't find their kernel source 2) duplication both on the media and in the installed system 3) some packages rebuild files from /usr/src/linux/, OK, these can be easily fixed. 1) is what worries me most, but I guess coolo would not be all that happy about an additional 7MB package on the DVD.
