multi-version support for 'kernel-modules-extra', similar to 'kernel'/'kernel-modules' with "installonly_limit=#" ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On a recently installed F32, in  my dnf.conf I've

	installonly_limit=3

As expected, I maintain 3 installed/selectable 'kernel' pkg versions

Atm, after yesterday's 5.7.6, update

	rpm -qa | grep kernel-5
	 kernel-5.6.6-300.fc32.x86_64
	 kernel-5.6.19-300.fc32.x86_64

That also appears to apply to 'kernel-modules' pkg,

	grep kernel-modules-5
	 kernel-modules-5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64
	 kernel-modules-5.6.19-300.fc32.x86_64
	 kernel-modules-5.6.6-300.fc32.x86_64


which makes it possible to load/operate on modules from each kernel version's respective modules tree

It apparently does NOT apply to 'kernel-modules-extra' pkg, 

	rpm -qa | grep kernel-modules-extra-5
	 kernel-modules-extra-5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64

which contains some of the mods referenced in kernel's /boot/config-...

E.g., in my current interest,

	find /usr/lib/modules | egrep "tcp_bbr|tcp_htcp"
	 /usr/lib/modules/5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64/extra/net/ipv4/tcp_htcp.ko.xz
	 /usr/lib/modules/5.7.6-201.fc32.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv4/tcp_bbr.ko.xz
	 /usr/lib/modules/5.6.19-300.fc32.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv4/tcp_bbr.ko.xz
	 /usr/lib/modules/5.6.6-300.fc32.x86_64/kernel/net/ipv4/tcp_bbr.ko.xz

Seems that install/upgrade of a newer/latest kernel, the older-versioned pkgs -- and the included mods -- from 'kernel-modules-extra' get _removed_.

That's causing issues for any dependencies on those modules.

Is it possible to add/config 'multiversion' support for 'kernel-modules-extra' pkg as well?

"installonly_limit=3" in dns.conf appears to be not sufficient.
