[Yum] kernel module distribution via yum?

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

 



Has anyone added code to yum to handle the naming convention of
kernel-module rpms as described in

http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageNamingGuidelines

In section C-5 Kernel Modules.

We are considering using this naming and need yum to "understand" it.
I understand the apt has lua scripts to handle it.

Thanks
