# Symlink latest kernel
Symlinks latest available kernel to `/usr/lib/modules/latest`.
This is a utility package for Arch Linux. It looks for all installed kernels in `/usr/lib/modules`, sorts by version, and symlinks most recent one as `latest`. Leverages pacman hooks to get the job done.
## Why?
Because some things should remain constant in this ever changing world. For example, browser URLs to kernel's documentation pages. Arch Linux is a fast-moving target, so I quickly got tired of having to manually fix URLs across all affected tabs after each system upgrade.
Somehow, kernel.org website provides [/latest/](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/) endpoint. So why wouldn't you enjoy the same on your local machine?
