The preferred mechanism for building module packages is make-kpkg. It's analgous to tightly-coupled or loosly-coupled components. I modified the broken ndiswrapper-source not to depend on make-kpkg; it's readme says the preffered technique is make-kpkg. The only thing it "has to have" module-assistant is a couple of variables in debian/rules. For that trivial advantage we now have tight coupling on the rest of module-assistant, which means if those variables change in module-assistant every other package has to change as well. Loose coupling is better than tight coupling. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
