One last question, if you don't mind...
I'm wondering who/what creates linux-modules adn linux-modules-extras. I would not be surprised if the kernel's scripts created a rpm by default. (But I would be surprised to learn it created, say, Pacman packages).
I don't know about other distros since I'm most familiar with Ubuntu, but this is how Ubuntu ships their kernels & modules. I don't know if other distros split theirs like this.
Does the kernel's build scripts perform any packaging? Or is it left to a distro?
It can! You can run "make debpkg" (or "make bindeb-pkg" to avoid a clean) to produce Debian packages "make rpm-pkg" to produce RPM packages. - Connor
