Well, that doesn't help those who get their kernels elsewhere, which IMO |
| 8 |
are the ones most likely to have their own scripted solutions using make |
| 9 |
install and thus debianutils in the first place, thus the general |
| 10 |
announcement suggestion, but a kernel-2.eclass einfo as proposed is a |
| 11 |
start and certainly won't hurt. =8^) (Also, as I've said, folks with |
| 12 |
such site-customized scripts are precisely the ones advanced enough they |
| 13 |
/should/ catch it and be well able to make the necessary changes |
| 14 |
themselves, regardless of warning, but should != will, and a GMN/GWN/ |
| 15 |
upgrade-guide warning is a nice touch in any case.) |
