[elrepo] kmod-hspa?

[Tuan Hoang]

Hi Morgan,
Here is the Red Hat docs explaining what they mean by “unmaintained”. What does it mean when hardware is classified as unmaintained in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6+, 9.0 and newer? - Red Hat Customer Portal

Our ELRepo kmod drivers exist to: - restore support for drivers with disabled device ID’s- add support for disabled drivers- add an out-of-kernel OEM driver (ex: Realtek)
Most kmods are just rebuilds from the RHEL kernel source and others are backported from upstream kernels.  We also look to backport upstream fixes based upon end-user feedback. 
In essence we try to provide some level of support to our end-users.  Please note that this is a volunteer project, but we do spend numerous hours to maintain everything. 
Thanks,Tuan

Hi List,

I've been getting these:
`Warning: Unmaintained driver is detected: hpsa`
 From rhel9 for some time now - since rhel9 - and just noticed kmod-hspa 
in elrepo.  So, there is still a driver from rhel, but it's 'unmaintained'.

Is the elrepo kmod-hspa 'maintained' and is it safe to install over the 
top of the rhel in-kernel module?

Thanks
