Subject: [gentoo-dev] splitting of packages into userspace/kernel space
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 02:11:54
Message-Id: 200401162111.55183.vapier@gentoo.org
1 a 'bug' came up with svgalib and automatic building of stages which reminded
2 me of an old idea of splitting packages into their kernel module and user
3 space parts ...
4
5 the reason isnt so that re-emerging packages would be a lot faster when
6 upgrading the kernel (although that is an advantage) but so that we could
7 explicitly break apart things like this
8
9 i thought there was a bug open about this but wasnt able to find it ... anyone
10 remember anything that might have been discussed about it ?
