But I don't think we want that infrastructure inside the kernel. - there are lots of packaging systems - there even are lots of incompatible rpm versions - you really want to plug into some vendor-infrastructure, e.g. boot loader configuration - sooner or later I want to add some system to auto-apply patches (similar to what debian does) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
