Antwort: Re: [xenpreview-dev] Where to find kernel source

[tobias.mucke at man.eu]

What I would like to see is not only a SOURCE RPM but also a normal
kernel-source RPM like in every SuSE Linux distribution.

After installing the normal kernel RPM there is a link from the modules
directory to the source directory of the kernel. This link is used during
build of kernel modules. Before installing a kernel-source RPM this link
points to nowhere. After the kernel-source RPM has been installed, the link
ist used during third party kernel module build.

Of course I could build a kernel-source RPM from the kernel SOURCE RPM. But
in general this should no be necessary.

Thanks.

Tobias
