Now, given the history of m-i-t development, it's possible that the patches were just extremely delayed and no-one will care if you delete it. But I think you should CC the patch authors and find out why they cared enough to submit them :-).Okay, fair enough, but it's my understanding that all of the backwards compat stuff for older modutils is being removed, and since part of the aim of this patchset was to help in that regard, generate-modprobe.conf had to go. :-) I'm hoping Jon will weigh in on this, but if not, I'll check with the other authors.
CC'd Martin Schlemmer and Mike Frysinger on this - guys, do you know of some reason that this should stay? From what I've gathered on IRC with Jon and others, all of the backwards-compat stuff with old modutils is essentially gone (or will be soon), so I don't see a reason for the generate-modprobe.conf file to hang around. Perhaps I'm missing something though, so here's your chance :-)
Thanks for the feedback, Alan - it's much appreciated. I'll get started on some better patches and try to get them out by this weekend.
Well, I had more free time than I thought I would today, so here's try #2. New location: git://github.com/rworkman/mit.git - only three commits this time, and really it should have been two, but I can fix that for a final pull request assuming everything else is okay. I'm attaching a diffstat and cumulative diff to this mail. -RW
