From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently we create symlinks like modprobe (pointing to kmod), during the normal `make` build. Although those were never installed. Add a few lines in the install-exec-hook, to ensure they're present at `make install` time. Thus one can actually use those without additional changes. As an added bonus, distributions can drop the similar hunk from their packaging.
It was a long time ago and my memory may be fading, but afair the fact that distros were doing it was what prevented us from adding the symlinks ourselves.... and then we never re-visited this. I'll dig some history before applying to make sure I'm not forgetting something.
Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Out of curiosity: are there any plans about releasing v32? I'm interested in the recent /usr/lib/modules (module_directory) patches.
yes, I should be releasing that soon, probably this week or the next. thanks Lucas De Marchi
