Packaging of modules is the path to insanity. It requires all kinds of weird hacks to how they are built, how they are named, how they are handled by rpm and depsolvers, they always lag, they always hold users behind when critical kernel fixes come out, etc, etc, etc... I personally feel (as does David) that if the module isn't good enough for upstream, then it would HAVE to live in the kernel package itself. If it's not good enough for the kernel package itself, then it isn't good enough for Fedora. (Same could be applied to RHEL, but that's a battle for a different list). Arguing over which ugly ass hack to apply to be able to package kernel modules is a bikeshed argument. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
