Hmm not sure I like this idea as it would make it more difficult to make a
copy / backup a kernel.
ATM when I want to copy a kernel for debugging its a one liner, splitting
debug symbols off to /usr/lib would prevent this.
To retain the current behaviour you can set DEBUGDIR= (i.e., empty),
as the debug file install path is ${DESTDIR}${DEBUGDIR}${KODIR}.
No, you can't.
su root
cp -pR /boot/kernel /boot/good
Where does DEBUGDIR enter the picture? The above will copy
both kernel and kernel.symbol to /boot/good. With your scheme
one loses kernel.symbol (along with all other *.symbol files?).
If one escapes to the boot prompt, she can do 'boot /boot/good/kernel',
will the boot process automatically find a (nonexistant?)
/usr/lib/boot/good/kernel.symbol.
you can also set "KERNEL" in the make and it will install to
/boot/$KERNEL/
It would need to put the symbols in /usr/lib/...$KERNEL/ as well, and
then you are bound to get confusion when you copy the new kernel to
the default place when you tested it. maybe put a symlink in the
kernel directory and follow that? keeping symbols and kernel in sync
is going to get a lot more complicated.
