Hi,
I'd like determine
whether or not the appropriate kernel source package is installed for the
currently running kernel. Is there some standard way of determining the
package name for various distributions and kernel versions? For instance,
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.0.2 goes with kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp, and
2.4.21-32.EL goes with kernel-source-2.4.21-32.EL. I need to be able to
handle source packages on Redhat, Suse, and Fedora Core. Additionally,
multiple source packages (for other kernels) could be installed on the
filesystem.
I'm currently using
a combination of scripting, C code, and uname to provide a solution.
However, the code is getting sloppy, and I'm not sure of all the different
naming conventions for the different OS variants. I'd like a cleaner
solution. Any ideas?
Also, I realize that
this isn't strictly an RPM based question. However, I though it might fit
here, since it deals with RPM naming conventions for the kernel source
packages. If someone knows a better list for me to post to, please let me
know, or go ahead and post it there for me.
Thanks.
