Please don't comment out code, just delete it, git's there to keep the
old code.

There's some redundant code that should be inside a loop.

A little more detail in the changelog might be useful to those of us who
are lazy about reading bash script....

Looks like this just prompts for each individual delete?  Actually it
looks like it requires the user to enter the module path and kernel
version for each one which makes it not much more convenient use than a
bare "ls" and "rm".

I personally use this in unattended scripts.  I mean, I don't really
care what we do with this, as I use my own copy of the script, so
whatever's useful to more people is fine.

But if somebody does actually use it as-is, it'd be nicer to keep the
current behavior and add an option ("-i" or something) for the
interactive behavior.

I thought it would be more appropriate to know user why it's written in
first place.So ,deleting is not a good idea!

>There's some redundant code that should be inside a loop.
I don't want to make thing unnecessary complicated. Two more line
,scripts like this, doesn't harm at all. Easy for readability.

More "unnecessary" words doesn't make the actual purpose of the scripts
more helpful. I believe the single line I put is good enough for the
people to capture the essence.

No , it is not. You missed out the point. The user should be reminded
what they are upto and precisely what is needed. I don't care who the
user are. This is operation just can not be done airy-fairy way.

Yes, you wrote it for your convenience, and that's great. I am thinking
of putting broader user base, so the verbosity and explicitness.

Subtle thing is not my cup of tea, honestly lack of bent of mind always
prevent me to doing that kind of thing.What you mention a flag would be
great and pretty trivial . But the whole point of having this script to
be "usable" lies somewhere else.

Bruce, I am no way trying to demean or over riding your thought and
work. Just trying to make things work for everyone else. I just took it
your good work to extend it , certainly others could have done much
better if they stab on it,including you. No, doubt about it.

No message needed IMO -- just exit.

Odd indentation here.  Some lines use tab, some lines use spaces.

And lastly, 'patch' will apply this patch cleanly, but it ends up with
almost all of this patch inserted into the new prune-kernel source file
before the current contents of the prune-kernel source file,
so I think that the emailed patch file has a problem.

Hi Bhaskar,

First problem is that patch complains:

checking file scripts/prune-kernel
Using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 87: 2.21.0

IOW, this patch does not apply cleanly.

More comments below.

Typos:
	               $kernel_version                                   $kernel_version

I.e., you can't have tested this.

If I enter nothing here, no need to call remove_old_kernel.

If I enter nothing here, don't call remove_old_kernel_modules_dir.

Why is the "do" line missing a '+'?  The only do/done in the current script
are already listed above as being commented out.

Just exit, no printf needed.

Same comment for "done" as for "do" above.
