Well, snap-pkg gives you a kernel that you can use in an ubuntu-core image (either when building an entire image from scratch, or you can install it in a preinstalled system), much like deb-pkg or rpm-pkg targets give you a kernel that you can use in a deb / rpm based system, i don't see any semantics difference here. > The snap-informed would also know that the snap-pkg target would > download stuff from the internet as part of the build process, but > that's unusual enough in kernel building that another recent build > target, linkcheckdocs, included "(will connect to external hosts)" as > part of its "make help" output.

The deb-pkg and rpm-pkg targets rebuild from scratch too if invoked in a row. -- bye, p. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
