RHEL to DIST?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jiri & I have noted that there are many mentions of the "RHEL" throughout the
ARK kernel patches and redhat directory.

In my previous patch jbenc noted:

>>> --- a/redhat/scripts/download_cross.sh
>>> +++ b/redhat/scripts/download_cross.sh
>>> @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ fi
>>>  
>>>  # if we're not root, all we can do now is see what's installed
>>>  if [ "$(whoami)" != "root" ]; then
>>> -	echo "Checking for RHEL7 cross compile packages.  If this fails, run \"make rh-cross-download\" as root."
>>> +	echo "Checking for RHEL7 cross compile packages.  If this fails, run \"make dist-cross-download\" as root."
>> 
>> Please change the "RHEL7" as well.

And I replied:

> I noticed the RHEL7 (and other RHEL) mentions as well but felt that they are out of scope for this changeset.  I was planning on coming to the list to ask what we should change the "RHEL" phrase to.  Distribution?

1.  Does "DIST"/"Distribution"/"dist" work as a replacement?
2.  Do we want to make that change across the kernel?
3.  It makes sense to me to fix these in the redhat/ directory.  Do we want to
change the "RHEL only" mentions in the patches to something else?  "DIST only"
seems wonky.
4.  We need to rename the redhat/ dir to something else as well.
