Re: PW#5-16: Use of /usr/src
I propose that perhaps source code distributed in .deb packages, such
as kernel sources, be unpacked directly inside "/usr/src", and that
the "/usr/src/debian" directory be designated for opening
.dsc/.orig.tar.gz/tar.gz/diff.gz source sets. It occurs to me that
this would be more of a convention than something imposed by the
source handling tools.
"/usr/src/debian/Work/" could contain a developers CVS working
directories, and "/usr/src/debian/Build/" could be where the
export/build/dupload cycle can take place.
I think that someone with more experience than I have ought to give
Red Hat's system a good looking over. I'm not qualified --- You tell
me and we'll both know. I must follow the more experienced
programmers' advice, of course.
