In addition to the issues these bugs raise, there following issues need to be rethought: * The default RDEPENDS_kernel-base ?= kernel-image * The kernel-vmlinux package is empty when KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "vmlinux" * vmlinux should probably just be in kernel-dev anyway * if it is, then kernel-image needs a different named file or some other packaging override to avoid an empty kernel-vmlinux 46684 1 richard.purdie 2014-10-30 15:26:02 +0000 Its worth noting that oprofile requires the vmlinux file which is why its been packaged seperately 50761 2 dvhart 2015-05-04 17:09:59 +0000 Given RPs comment, the lack of clear problem statement, and the recent overhaul of the kernel packaging for build performance reasons, I'm marking this as obsolete. A new bug can be opened in the future should a more explicit issue be raised. 53495 3 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2015-08-27 15:22:28 +0000 closed because nothing will be done on this 53556 4 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2015-08-31 06:36:00 +0000 closed because nothing will be done on this
