I'm looking at some software I have to build at work, and I'm trying
to work with RedHat 8.0, even though I don't have it yet. I'm curious
about a particulare "binary" package:
kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm
and similarly:
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.i386.rpm
These are clearly source files. How do they compare with:
kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm
????
In particular, I'd like to try building my package (targeting 8.0) on
my 7.2 box. (Maybe that's unrealistic. It's a fibre HBA driver
module.)
At any rate, why the mixup with the "sources"? And, why would header
files be non-relocatable on the install? (At least the kernel headers
are with 7.2.
TIA,
Bill
