Oops - seems like even kernel code developers are not all of one mind |
| 10 |
when it comes to what the convention is regarding the /usr/src/linux |
| 11 |
sym link. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I think my preference would be to make the intention more explicit - |
| 14 |
it a symlink is for use by scripts and makefile then it can be |
| 15 |
verbose, such as |
| 16 |
/usr/src/current_buid_kernel |
| 17 |
which can be accompanied with a separate link to be used a shorthand |
| 18 |
for the current kernel by human users, such as |
| 19 |
/usr/src/sys |
| 20 |
which could be set correctly during boot. |
| 21 |
(linux would really need to be left as a confusing link for compatability) |
