Am I supposed to install a kernel-dummy package or should this prevent me Using kernel-dummy was AFAIK the way to sync versions across all kernel packages. I'll have to let others explain just how that worked in detail though.
Yep, that's how it worked before the build service existed (and still works on the old SUSE-internal build service). It defines the kernel-dummy package, which only exists to provide a version and release number - and then the other packages inherit it via some build system magic.
The problem is that the old build system didn't define any variables that could be used to key off of, so the opensuse_bs variable ends up being used as "not using the old build system" variable.
BTW, we removed all traces of kernel-dummy in 11.2 and later, it stayed in 11.1 only by accident. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
