Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [announcement draft] New module-init-tools changes modprobe configuration file location

Just out of curiosity, why was that change made? Isnt it a bit incosistent to all other *.d's? pacman.conf isnt in pacman.d, logrotate.conf isnt in logrotate.d, rc.conf isnt in rc.d etc. Are there plans to move those too?

In the past, they ignored /etc/modprobe.d when /etc/modprobe.conf was present. Then we patched it to always read both - and that was accepted upstream. I guess they were annoyed by it and thus made the config file locations consistent.
