hi,
on rhel/centos-5w we've a lot's of kernel module (thanks to the elrepo) and we can build our own on a nearly standardized way for rhel/centos. but i now run into a problem how to add a require kmod line into another package's spec file. it seems to very easy, if i've got package x.spec:
Requires: y-kmod
first question whether y-kmod or kmod-y (tha package name or the virtual provides)? and if we go a bit further and have a i386 machine with 4gb ram which install by default kernel-PAE and like to install x into that machine i wish to pull (yum pull) kmod-x-PAE and not kmod-x since it can't be used on a PAE kernel. what's more if x pull kmod-y that also pull the none PAE kernel too which is also not a good think. there are two plugins in yum-utils yum-kernel-module and yum-fedorakmod, but none of the seems to working (yum-fedorakmod instal the proper kmod-x-PAE too if i set installforallkernels=1, but still install the non PAE one and the none PAE kernel too).
so what's the good and proper solution to require y kernel module into package x (in a way that works with yum on all kernel variant)?
i even like to modify any of the yum-kernel-module or yum-fedorakmod to be able to use, but the problem is that i can't write conditional requires in a package spec file which depend on the runtime kernel variant:-(
anybody has any solution to this?
