From modutils-2.2.2-pre6:
- Are there more optimizations to do for handling meta-characters?
Example: look for $VAR in the environment instead of "/bin/echo"
- Check for full (and consistent) set of options for all apps,
especially depmod vs. modprobe (and insmod too)
Remaining from modutils-2.1.121:
insmod:
- Persistant module parameters.
util: (alias.h)
insmod: (modprobe.c)
depmod: (depmod.c)
- Finalize MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE info so that we can replace
the hardcoded alias array with info gleened from the modules
themselves.
* Bjorn says: One way is to use the "include" directive...
Otherwise, an extension to the modules.dep file format could
handle most of this problem:
"/lib/modules/.../isofs.o: [type=fs device=iso9660] dependencies"
config file:
- Enable _really_ fine module selection by looking at $BOOTFILE
or maybe kernel build number for the benefit of kernel hackers.
* Bjorn says: This is mostly solved with the "include", "define"
and "if" directives for /etc/modules.conf. Note that the kmod
environment to modprobe is _very_ sparse...
