However, its been a while, maybe this is doable with the latest rpm and/or maybe my recollections are wrong. A patches subdir would certainly clean things up considerably, and then I think a constant patch name prefix matters a lot less (certainly still could stand to apply some standard formula to naming, of course, but it wouldn't impact tab completion near as much anymore). -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
