Well i certaintly can't comment on whether its appropriate for kernel-devel to provide either of those. This seems kernel-devel package is the new and better solution to try to provide the headers. So it doesnt actually provide a kernel.. and it doesnt actually provide kernel-modules. It does provide kernel-devel, which is consistent with every other *-devel package in the distro :-> Providing 'kernel' would definitely be inappropriate and misleading.. packages actually require 'kernel' so it means something significant to provide 'kernel' Providing 'kernel-modules' on the other hand... i don't think anything requires 'kernel-modules' so it might be okay to make kernel-devel provide that but i still seems to me like potential double-meaning to what 'kernel-modules' means since kernel-devel doesnt actually include a single kernel-module. Maybe Dave Jones can be poked into making a comment about this. -jef"snow"spaleta
