kmod 17 is out: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-17.tar.xz ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-17.tar.sign Several fixes on this release, some new features and initial python bindings. The python bindings are still experimental and subject to change in future. You have to manually enable with --enable-python. Copying here the relevant piece from NEWS: - Bug fixes: - Fix matching a "." in kernel cmdline, making garbage in the command line be parsed as kmod options - Fix man pages to clarify we don't fallback to parsing modules.dep but instead we depend on modules.dep.bin (generated by depmod) to be present - Fix ELF parsing on 32 bit systems assigning the wrong class. - Fix partial matches of search directives in depmod. Previously having a line in depmod.conf such as "search foo foobar built-in" would cause unpretictable results because foo is a partial match of foobar as well. - Fix unaligned access in modinfo when getting the signature from a module - Make sure softdeps are treated as optional dependencies - New features: - Accept special files given to "-C" switch in modprobe. This way it's possible to skip system configuration with "modprobe -C /dev/null" - Do not require xsltproc on released tarballs - Don't use Werror anymore - Add experimental python bindings, merged from python-kmod repository (https://github.com/agrover/python-kmod) - Parse softdeps exported by the kernel as /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.softdep - Improvements to testsuite: - Check the list of loaded modules after a test And here is the shortlog: Andy Grover (17): python: initial checkin python: a skeleton that compiles python: use c99 init for struct init python: Add support for listing loaded modules, modprobe, rmmod python: More cleanup and renaming of stuff.
