For different kernels - it'll be enough to make different kernel+modules (+ packages that contains this).
P.S. Also there is a new question against package management: I included pptp kernel module into accel-pptp package (and made modifications to scripts - to avoid duplication of modules in packages and moddb); also I planned to do same thing with other ppp-related modules - so we will provide different packets, but users will not have headache with module adding or, instead, moddb will not be overloaded by non-common modules. So I need an opinion: is it good solution, or we must include modules only in moddb as earlier? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
