Having it as a separate RPM is a bit messy. If you work back, the number of different options that are available, its better to have individual rpm's that complement a standard stable kernel. Elaborating : there are a few dozen options enabled with the centosplus kernel, in the event that any one of those creates a problem for your setup - you have an unusalbe xfs setup. Having an individual rpm ensures you dont carry the extra baggage of these other options with you. Anyway, yum should handle dep's for you, there is no reason why an rpm that complements the kernel should be 'messy'. As we work to bring in more options like this - I am going to vote for seperate rpms' for each, allowing people to pick and choose what they need - and be able to use that functionality on a stock stable distro kernel. just my thoughts. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
