There is a discrepancy in the terminology of these two packages:
- kernel-drivers[1]
- kernel-modules-extra
Are these[1] modules passed the driving test? Should I read the "Banana Split" thread, again? Perhaps the "kernel-modules" for the "kernel-drivers" is the proper name.
I should have brought that up when the split was first proposed, but I agree and I do not like this inconsistency. The new one should be called kernel-modules, or the old kernel-modules-extra should be renamed kernel-drivers-extra.
Right. This kind of thing is why I let it sit for review for over a month. Now it's live in Rawhide and doing a rename means you have to get all the Provides/Obsoletes in place to kill off the old subpackage name. In other words, it's a PITA.
Or, I may just do the rename and people that have the existing subpackage installed can deal with it manually.
I vote for kernel-modules and kernel-modules-extra, as not all modules are drivers.
This is out for a vote.
