Re: Broken Symlinks

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.
I tried below change in kernel.spec and now with this patch, the build and source symlinks are moved into kernel-devel package.

This was been tested for Fedora 21 kernel-3.19.7-200
Source RPM : kernel-3.19.7-200.fc21.src.rpm

I request kernel package maintainers to please have look into it.

I think there'll only be more progress on the issue if someone
proposes a packaging guideline draft along the lines of what Dominik
proposed earlier in the thread.
