Hi Herbert, Would you mind explaining the purpose of config/default in debian's i386 kernel image packages? The config ends up in /usr/src/kernel-headers- <version>-<soname>, which, afaict, should never be compiled against by kernel modules; they should use /usr/src/kernel-headers-<version>- <soname>-<arch>, instead. The arch-specific kernel header packages symlink headers against the non-arch-specific kernel header package, so it makes sense for that to exist; I just don't see the point of giving that non-arch-specific kernel header package a .config file. People using stock debian kernels will want arch-speific header files; people who've compiled their own kernels w/ make-kpkg will have had kernel- header packages created; and people w/ their own kernels that didn't use make-kpkg will (presumably) have the source tree hanging around somewhere. -- Andres Salomon <dilinger@voxel.net>
