[elrepo-devel] Announcement: EL5: Updated kmod-video4linux packages now available

[Phil Perry]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-video4linux packages to the 
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-video4linux

x86
kmod-video4linux-0.0-7.20100410.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-video4linux-PAE-0.0-7.20100410.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86-64
kmod-video4linux-0.0-7.20100410.2.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

These latest packages are built against the RHEL 5.5 series kernel and 
are largely kABI compatible with earlier kernels series although not all 
modules are kABI compatible with all kernel series.

This release contains a bug fix for the x86 PAE variant - thanks to Gena 
Makhomed for providing a patch.


NOTE: Due to the appearance of a bug in el5.5, these updated 
kmod-video4linux packages will pull in an updated module-init-tools 
package containing a fix as a dependency for el5.5 users. If you are 
using yum priorities then you will need to allow elrepo to replace core 
OS/Updates files for the purpose of this update.

See here for more information:

A quick workaround to update would be:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-video4linux

Thank you.

The ELRepo Team.
