I think you'll have a hard time finding enough truly version-independent code in the OpenAFS kernel module to save a substantial amount of time, although I could be wrong. Much of the time in a build for me is taken by configure, and much of the configure time is all the probes of the Linux kernel API. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- Use dkms for openafs-modules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
