You want to prepare another kernel dir and want to call a kernel script and all of that just to remove a word from a text file. And you dont understand, why that is a waste of resources? While just opening the file in an editor and removing that word would exactly do the same? And committing that changed file to git would fix it once and for all. It is the same as for autotools based build systems: You dont call the autotools on every user system, you call them once, then you create the tarball and the user just has to call configure; make; make install and none of the auto* tools, which would all do the same on every user system. And exactly the same point is here: You can do the change once and for everyone instead of forcing everyone to do the same change himself. Oh and for the kernel source dir being readonly: There is a pretty simple reason for it: It prevents random scripts to play with my live system at will instead of keeping itself inside the builddir as it should. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
