This is yet another reason why external kmods are such crap piles. Often times the kernel is the very last package to build, and when we "know" that it is good, is when we actually do the spins. We don't always have time to wait for N kernel mods to rebuild against it and get tagged. When the kmods were in a separate repo this was less of an issue, but now that everything is in the same repo it is far far more important of an issue and one that will hound us quite often, like with every kernel update.
/me resists the urge to ask why Fedora doesn't move to using dkms for kernel modules. Yes, I know, Fedora is primarily a binary distribution. The packaging of kernel modules that Mathias has been doing for freshrpms with dkms is living testament to the ease of that approach though. Oh dear, I didn't resist the urge. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
