[elrepo] fglrx on/for CentOS 6.8

[jacques klein]

Ok, "about care to elaborate, please  ?" , it's the version of kernel in
the post-install script,

my system says:

# uname -r
2.6.32-642.3.1.el6.x86_64

I don't know if this version is "dynamically updated" during rpm
installation, but 573 is definitivelly the kernel version of the CentOS
6.7 I used before updating.

# rpm -qp --scripts kmod-fglrx-15.9-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
echo "Working. This may take some time ..."
if [ -e "/boot/System.map-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64" ]; then
    /sbin/depmod -aeF "/boot/System.map-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64"
"2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64" > /dev/null || :
fi
modules=( $(find /lib/modules/2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64/extra/fglrx | grep
'\.ko$') )
if [ -x "/sbin/weak-modules" ]; then
    printf '%s\n' "${modules[@]}" | /sbin/weak-modules --add-modules
fi
echo "Done."
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
rpm -ql kmod-fglrx-15.9-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 | grep '\.ko$'
> /var/run/rpm-kmod-fglrx-modules
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
echo "Working. This may take some time ..."
if [ -e "/boot/System.map-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64" ]; then
    /sbin/depmod -aeF "/boot/System.map-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64"
"2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64" > /dev/null || :
fi
modules=( $(cat /var/run/rpm-kmod-fglrx-modules) )
rm /var/run/rpm-kmod-fglrx-modules
if [ -x "/sbin/weak-modules" ]; then
    printf '%s\n' "${modules[@]}" | /sbin/weak-modules --remove-modules
fi
echo "Done."
