[elrepo-devel] kmod packaging cleanup for rhel-6

[Farkas Levente]

Hi,
I test jon's test packages and write comment about it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502140#c11
so currently the latest redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-22.el6.noarch is not
working at that way as Jon describe. and there two more problems:

It'd be useful to add to kmodtool this patch:

 then
     echo "%defattr(644,root,root,755)"
     echo "/lib/modules/${verrel}.%{_target_cpu}${dotvariant}"
+    echo "/etc/depmod.d/${kmod_name}.conf"
 else
     cat "$override_filelist"
 fi
------------------------------------


but more important i don't know why rename the package from foo-kmod to
foo? this will cause a lot's of problem since there are kmod packages
which has user-space part. and until now it was the convention to
package them separately from the kernel module. now the src.rpm is
foo...src.rpm in stead of foo-kmod...src.rpm. do we really want this?

anyway is there any newer redhat-rpm-config to test on rhel-6?
thanks.

regards.
