linux-ipsec: Re: Comments on INSTALL > How about a Makefile target that makes the kernel, and then makes
I've thought about that... but it becomes an awkward "tail wags the dog"
situation, where the instructions for adding our little bit of code to the
kernel require that you build your kernel via our Makefile. That's fine
for IPSEC developers, who naturally assume that the kernel revolves around
them :-), but I'm reluctant to do it that way for general release. It
seems unclean, especially since it requires embedded knowledge of things
like which kernel configurer to use. (Most of these issues only come up
the first time it's done, but we're trying to build a system where the
average installer won't have to do it more than once...)
All suggestions welcome.
