The following changes since commit 9a1c905651a38d1f2c6d4d836f81b5e06a503521: Jon Masters (1): release: module-init-tools version 3.10 are available in the git repository at: git://github.com/andr345/module-init-tools.git modprobe-softdep or may be reviewed online at: http://github.com/andr345/module-init-tools/commits/modprobe-softdep Andreas Robinson (6): modprobe: reduce nesting in conf parser modprobe: trivial whitespace/indentation fixes in conf parser modprobe: put configuration objects in a struct modprobe: enable calling do_modprobe from within handle_module,insmod,rmmod modprobe: add softdep command parser modprobe: add softdep command modprobe.c | 396 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 files changed, 274 insertions(+), 122 deletions(-) This is version 2, and like version 1 it's a basis for discussion and not finished. The first three commits are virtually unchanged since v1 and the fourth is trivial, so it's safe to ignore them for now. Changes since v1: * The command core is properly implemented. find_softdep/do_softdep mirror find_command/do_command, and should now deal with aliases. * The fork()-based workaround was removed. I pretend that the problem with fatal() calls doesn't exist. It's a TODO, obviously.
