This patch series adds a "pre-run hook" feature for depmod alternatives. An alternative's pre-run hook is a shell command which depmod will run just before processing the alternative. This will be used by Ksplice Uptrack in order to synchronize its module directory with the directories in /lib/modules. A hook gives us the flexibility we need, without pushing the synchronization logic into module-init-tools. The patches also fix some minor bugs in my previous code. As before, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
