Apologies for posting into the wrong subthread of this monster, I
already deleted the relevant mail.
If one of the major issues with the current kmod spec is that neither
rpm -U nor rpm -i work correctly, shouldn't that be corrected? If the
module could install into something like this:
/lib/modules/MODULE-VERSION-RELEASE/(KERNELVER|KABI)/MODULE.ko
instead of:
/lib/modules/KERNELVER/extra/MODULE/MODULE.ko
wouldn't that bring the behaviour of kmods inline with that of the
kernel? (Use rpm -i for normal operations, rpm -U if you don't believe
in Murphy).
