Because we should provide feedback to VMWare that what they're really asking for is a kernel-devel package for the running kernel. The kernel-headers package is just for compiling userspace programs, and only is updated when there's an API change that affects userspace. I suspect that the "headers" part is coming from the Debian/Ubuntu world, because I think their kernel source is in a linux-headers package. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-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/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
