From: Ondrej Mosnáček on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1950#note_1081919148 > Would it make sense to use a hardlink here instead of a symlink? I figured a symlink would be safer, since hardlinks only work between files on the same filesystem. It's not obvious that there is such guarantee for the various build dirs, and even if there was, it's better to minimize such hidden assumptions IMHO. > My only other concern would be someone trying to debug a build failure and finding those intermediate files gone, but I suppose they could hack up the spec to preserve them in that particular use case. If the build fails after the `rm`, then the kernel image is already built and there should be no need to work with those files to debug it. And even if the user wants to re-run the make steps for some reason, the build system should be able to rebuild the missing files as needed. So I'd argue the impact would be minimal here. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
