How do we deal with the Python package?

I wouldn't try to put he python modules into /pkg/python-XXX, because then we'd have to rebuild the package for every python, which would be quite a burden.

It could go into its own package. However, it should go into /pkg only if it has proven its usefulness and is important to multiple users. I don't think it of general value currently (e.g. because it seems that the systems are not even prepared for it, see below), so maybe install it into your home for now, get experience and if you use it routinely and still think its of general value, than suggest to install it globally?

Here's a script to install it into a configurable prefix ( or /dev/shm with TESTING=1) : https://github.molgen.mpg.de/gist/donald/467aa35e3ed3cdca3828658c1246f0d6

CONFIG_IKHEADERS:

Enable kernel headers through /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz

So, it just needs the Linux kernel headers files. And the ones in MarIuX are outdated.

$ sudo bee list headers
linux-headers-4.14.76-0.x86_64

Should be no problem to enable CONFIG_IKHEADERS with the next kernel builds. I still don't know where to put the note to not forget this.

like it or not: /src/mariux/beeroot/bee-files.issues

add line: linux Add CONFIGBLA

remove line, when done.
