Hi, I'm glad to announce kmod 3! Signed tarball is available at http://packages.profusion.mobi/kmod/kmod-3.tar.xz In this version we added a new implementation of depmod, the only missing tool to completely replace module-init-tools. We have only a couple of options missing yet and need more testing, so I'd not say distros could start shipping kmod instead of module-init-tools yet. This will probably be possible with the next version. We removed the several kmod-* tools that mimic the module-init-tools ones. Now there's only one tool called 'kmod' that does the right thing when symlinks are used with the previous names. I'd like to thank again Dave Reisner and Tom Gundersen for the really good work at testing, reporting bugs and helping on solving them. Right now we received feedback from them and other people that are testing on the following architectures: i686, x86_64, sparcv9, sparc64, powerpc64, s390, ARM and sh4. Any architecture missing here? With this version we also fixed a major bug on architectures that do not support unaligned accesses. It's also worth noting that now udev is already using kmod for loading modules.For more information about new things, please check the NEWS file that we ship with kmod. For the next version we plan to review some APIs, extract documentation from source code and generate the missing man pages. Hopefully we will already be hosted on kernel.org, too.
