being theoretical. I already did the work in the spec file to split
it into kernel-core and kernel-drivers. The kernel package becomes a
metapackage that requires the other two, so that existing installs and
anaconda don't have to change (assuming I did thinks correctly).
Cloud can just specify kernel-core in the kickstart or whatever.
Does yum's kernel-handling magic need to change to handle this? Probably you
have already thought of that.
I think that's a reasonable start, and it's a significant
reduction.
Beyond that, we get into much less reduced savings and having to move
stuff around on a finer level. For the curious, I uploaded the module
list here:
+1 to getting the low-hanging fruit and not worrying too much about the
stuff up on the hard to reach branches.
