Hi all,
I've been talking to Thomas about this, and we've come to the conclusion that it's probably just broken to continue shipping kmod built with a rootprefix. I think there's been two recurring problems coming up that make this revert warranted:
- It makes building kernels for other distros not fun - The kernel doesn't really support it. Various Kbuild targets just break with no clean fix available.
kmod 10 is to be released quite soon, and I'm planning on building without the rootprefix. It should not affect us in any real way at this point, given that /lib is now a symlink. It does mean that for the next kernel built, we'll need to make a minor adjustment to the kernel PKGBUILDs: running depmod before moving the module dir instead of vice versa. I can fix this myself in SVN when I push kmod-10 to [testing].
Whatever, go ahead. Any thoughts about a proper fix in kmod yet?
