Kernel Module Package Guidelines

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



I recently posted a feature request for the aufs dependency on aufs-utils to be removed (because the latter is not necessary for using aufs). The bug was closed by the maintainer because "This is the standard way of packaging modules in Arch:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Module_Package_Guidelines";.

Of course he was right: "... make sure nvidia depends on nvidia-utils ..."

It's maybe a rather small point, but to me this requirement seems a bit excessive. I would suggest rephrasing this to:

"... if nvidia-utils is required for the use of nvidia, make sure nvidia depends on nvidia-utils ..."
