First of all, we didn't deprecate -l. It was already deprecated a long time ago (as far as I checked, back to 2006). > > I have already patched my kmod with the -l option, would you be willing to > add this option to kmod? > > If so, I can polish the patch and send a pull request for it. The problem with the previous implementation is that it's not really listing the available modules. It's listing the modules known in the index. It's kind of misleading. As stated in module-init-tools' man page, it'd be better to use 'find' in the modules dir. However since you are not the first person asking for it, I think there's some demand for this functionality. So, I'm thinking about having it with another name just to avoid confusion.
