	    Suggestion and aliases from Richard Gooch <rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
	* Depmod converted to C

Tue Mar 23 20:08:13 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	modutils-2.2.2-pre5:

	* "modprobe -r" with multiple modules tries each stack separately
	  Report from Tim Waugh <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>
	* Removed spurious calls to "/bin/echo" in meta_expand.c (check for "=")
	  Report from Adam J. Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>
	* Modprobe checks mtime instead of ctime for modules.dep
	  Report from Tim Waugh <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>

Sat Mar 20 01:29:55 CET 1999   Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	modutils-2.2.2-pre4:

	* Fixed very silly stack bugs in modprobe.c build_stack()
	* Added option "-d" (debug) to modprobe to show stacks
	* Do not complain if modprobe fails to load "above" modules
	* Made modprobe -r error reporting conform to specs

	  From Petr Vandrovec <VANDROVE@vc.cvut.cz>

Thu Mar 18 23:38:46 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	modutils-2.2.2-pre3:

	* Upgraded the script "create_syms" in the depmod directory
	  to be actually useful after a kernel "make modules_install".
	  Perhaps I should select a more appropriate name, though...

	* Added '-q' option to insmod and modprobe to make insmod be
	  quiet about unresolved symbols and version mismatches,
	  except via the exit status. For "modprobe -k", -q is implied.

	* Fixed silly bug in modprobe.c for reverting a failed load.

	* Made sure config.c uses "version" and not "uts_info" when asked to.

	* Serious restructuring of the logic in depmod in order to
	  ensure correct dependencies at all times. Resolving of
	  undefined symbols is delayed until _all_ modules in a subtree
	  have been processed. Now makes sense of "path=/lib/modules".

	* Modified linked list order in modprobe.c to make best use
	  of the depmod upgrades.

	* Explicitly initialize "errors" to 0 in insmod.c main() to handle
	  multiple modprobe calls.

	* Restored mscan definition, to pre1. That wasn't the problem...

	* Upgraded NEWS, README, TODO, CREDITS, insmod.8, modprobe.8

	* Commented away use of HAVE_WORDEXP in util/meta_expand.c
	  until I'm sure it is OK.

Wed Mar 17 18:17:59 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	pre2:

	* From Michal Jaegermann <michal@ellpspace.math.ualberta.ca>:
	  * Updated modutils.spec
	  * Typecast adaptions for Alpha (config.c, meta_expand.c)
	* Fixed bug in depmod.cc main() handling result from config_lstmod()
	  helped by gdb stacktrace from Jochen Friedrich <jochen@nwe.de>
	* Survive ftw(NON_EXISTANT_PATH) => errno = ENOENT in config.c
	  (different behaviour on different platforms).  Bugreports and tests:
	  Jochen Friedrich <jochen@nwe.de> and Garst R. Reese <reese@isn.net>
	* Fixed handling of quoted strings in util/meta_expand.c
	  Bug report from: Andrzej Krzysztofowicz <ankry@green.mif.pg.gda.pl>
	* Use /var/run instead of /tmp to store pid of request-route :-(
	* Test if small modification in modstat.c mscan macro fixes
	  Alpha problem on 2.0.*

1999-03-17  Philip Blundell  <philb@gnu.org>

	* obj/obj_arm.c: Merge in ARM changes from HCC/Corel tree.  Add
	support for synthesising GOT and PLT to cope with too-large
	address offsets in relocs.

	* config.sub: Update from glibc 2.1.

Tue Mar 16 21:11:37 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	* Fixed bug in insmod.c, get_module_version: should also be:
	  look for "__module_kernel_version", not only: "kernel_version".
	  Problem reported by Arnaud Installe <a.installe@ieee.org>
	* Added error message if a module isn't owned by root
	  (This security check was added early in this series, but
	   didn't appear in the ChangeLog, thanks for the reminder Arnaud!)
	* Added two aliases from Tigran Aivazian <tigran@sco.COM>
	* Warning about conditional paths added to conf.modules.5
	* Added notification if the module configuration file is
	  more recent than the module dependencies file.
	* Added simple-minded tool "create_syms" in depmod directory.
	  Generates kernel symbol file for "depmod -F symfile".

Tue Mar 16 21:11:37 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	* Added error message if a module isn't owned by root
	  (This security check was added early in this series, but
	   didn't appear in the ChangeLog, thanks for the reminder Arnaud!)
	* Added two aliases from Tigran Aivazian <tigran@sco.COM>
	* Warning about conditional paths added to conf.modules.5
	* Added notification if the module configuration file is

	* Added simple-minded tool "create_syms" in depmod directory.
	  Generates kernel symbol file for "depmod -F symfile".

Tue Mar 16 13:36:03 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	* Optimistically named current version "modutils-2.2.2-pre1".
	* Updated conf.modules(5).
	* Added "-n" (numeric) to expression evaluation for "if" directives
	  in configuration files.

Tue Mar 16 00:57:36 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	* Upgraded man pages (and renamed from section(1) to section(8))
	* Big modprobe rewrite:
		* For "normal" modprobe requests (i.e. no wildcards)
		  all information is deduced from the module dependency file
		  and configuration file. This means that there is no need
		  to scan the actual directories in order to find the modules.
		  So, using modprobe is now at least as fast as plain insmod!
		* There can be an unlimited number of alias levels, where
		  each alias level can have its own set of "options".
		  The upper level alias "options" will override the
		  options defined for "lower"levels.

Fri Mar 12 23:57:19 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	insmod/modprobe.c:
	* Added (forgotten) "above" and "below" handling to unload()
	* Discovered and fixed a bug in unload():
		look for requested name as well as the basic name to handle
		modules inserted with "insmod -o kernelname basicname.o"

Fri Mar 12 18:17:48 CET 1999  Bjorn Ekwall  <bj0rn@blox.se>

	Summary of changes from lastest 2.1.121 version

	==============================================================
	./depmod

	* All code from 2.1.121 replaced
	* Restart from latest current C++ version from Jaques Gelinas
	* Depmod and modprobe separated, modprobe moved to ../insmod
	* Some depmod cleanups w.r.t. tree handling
	* All handling of /etc/conf.modules unified and moved to ../util
	* Kernel symbols read via new get_kernel_info() in ../util/libutil.a
	* Loading of object file info uses ../obj/libobj.a
	* Less memory usage by new obj_free() in ../obj/libobj.a
	* For modules with module_info, use the explicitly exported symbols
	* Use getopt in depmod, with long options
	* New depmod options -F -C -b -n -q
		-F	read kernel symbols from a file instead of kernel:

		-C	Use alternate config file instead of /etc/conf.modules
		-b	Work with a moved directory image of /lib/modules
		-n	Do nothing, write output on stdout instead
		-q	Be QUIET, even if there are unresolved symbols

	==============================================================
	./genksyms

	  without flex and bison (some such exist).
	* Makefile dependencies more clear

	==============================================================
	./include

	General change:	all "new_"-symbols drops "new_"

	New files:
	* config.h	for the new generic handling of /etc/conf.modules
			via ../util/config.c, included in ../util/libutil.a
	* modstat.h	for generic module info via get_kernel_info() in
			../util/modstat.c, included in ../util/libutil.a

	Modified files:
	* kerneld.h	Fixed for handling all kerneld protocols
	* module.h	all "new_"-symbols drops "new_"
	* obj.h		new obj_free() call added
	* util.h	merged logger.h, added new meta_expand and GLOB_LIST

	==============================================================
	./insmod

	General:
	* modprobe moved here from ../depmod (and converted to C)
	* logger moved to ../util (for ../util/libutil.a)
	* All configuration handling moved to ../util/config.c (libutil.a)
	* All utilities use the same rules for finding modules.
	  MODPATH is merged with the generic rules, if defined.
	  MODULECONFIG environment parameter be used to specify config file.
	* main.c removed, generic functionality in Makefile, insmod.c
	* Makefile.in cleaned up
	* Utilities (rmmod, modprobe, lsmod, ksyms) can be combined to one
	  executable, for floppys/ramdisks and what-not (see README.combined)
	* Heavy restructuring of most sources to make them less version
	  dependent. Kernel queries made generic via get_kernel_info().
	  Version dependence compatibility controlled via ../configure
	* Merged Debian patches

	insmod.c:
	* options cleaned up
	* insmod more SMP-friendly ("-P"): Bill Zumach <zumach+@transarc.com>
	* module size fix: B. James Phillippe <bryan@terran.org>
	* Locking (option -L) is now the default action for insmod
	* Flow in insmod_main now handles versioned modules/kernels better

	ksyms.c:
	* Rewritten: uses generic get_kernel_info
	* Can be merged with insmod executable

	lsmod.c:
	* Rewritten: uses generic get_kernel_info
	* Usable for non-root users
	* Can be merged with insmod executable

	modinfo.c:
	* optind++ in show_module_info, Salvador Ortiz Garcia <sog@msg.com.mx>
	* unified module path handling via ../util/config.c (libutil.a)

	modprobe.c:
	* Converted from original C++ to C and much modified since then
	* Cooperates fully with insmod (but usable as separate program)
	* Handles the new keywords in /etc/conf.modules:
	    Conditional decoding and handling of parameters
		if
		else
		elseif
		endif
		define
		include
	    Additional module dependencies (optimized pre-post- install/remove)
		above	pull in module(s) on top (such as ppp-compressors)
		below	push module(s) on stack before myself
	* Uses getopt with long options
	* New options:
		-C	use alternate config file (instead of /etc/conf.modules)
		-n	Do nothing, just show
		-v	Be verbose
		-r	Without module name: Do "autoclean" with complete
			handling of pre-/post- install/remove commands.
			Intended to replace "rmmod -a" in crontabs.
	* Module options from aliases modules will be merged with base
	  module options and command line options.

	rmmod.c:
	* Rewritten: uses generic get_kernel_info
	* Use "-r" option for removing stacks (as in modules-2.0.0)
	* Can still be merged with insmod executable

	==============================================================
	./kerneld

	* Most Debian patches applied:
		kerneld.c
		Makefile.in

	==============================================================
	./obj

	* New funcion "obj_free()" added to obj_load.c.
	  This makes modprobe more "lean" w.r.t. memory usage,
	  even though it now uses ../obj/libobj.a for loading module info.
	* Debian patches merged

	==============================================================
	./util

	* Logging, via logger.c moved here for use of by apps
	* All handling of config files to config.c for use of by apps.
	  Many cleanups, modifications and additions:
	  - uses ftw, partly to survive "modutils-2.1.121 path syntax"
	  - If MODULECONFIG environment parameter is defined, that
	    file will be used instead of the default /etc/conf.modules.
	  - If MODPATH environment parameter is defined, its contents
	    will override the default paths (/etc/conf.modules rules).
	  - All config file arguments will be expanded for meta-character.
	  - New config file keywords decoded:
		if, else, elseif, endif, define, above, below
	    Config statements
		include FILE

		if EXPRESSION
		else
		elseif EXPRESSION
		endif

		    where EXPRESSION can be
			! EXPRESSION
			-f FILENAME
			WORD  where "", "0" or "false" => FALSE, else => TRUE
			WORD op WORD  (op is one of == != < <= >= >= )
		    All WORDs are expanded w.r.t. meta-characters

		above module modulelist

		below module modulelist

	* Separate config.c include file "alias.h" for easier editing
	* New file: modstat.c, contains version independent reading of
	  kernel module parameters.  Influenced by COMPAT_2_0 in ../configure
	* New file: meta_expand.c, handles expansion of all meta-character
	  for config.c.  Uses wordexp() or glob() if available, with
	  popen("/bin/echo ...") as fallback. Returns GLOB_LIST (array of words)
	  Thanks for hints from Tim Waugh <tim@cyberelk.demon.co.uk>

	* sys_cm.c, sys_qm.c
