Changelog for modutils-2.4.27-alt4.i586.rpm :
Tue Jun 21 08:00:00 2005 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.27-alt4
- 00kernel.modutils: added \"prune .versions\" for new kernel-modules-nvidia.

Sat Jan 15 07:00:00 2005 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.27-alt3
- module-init-tools 3.1 release.
- Dropped module-init-tools-3.0-pre9-alt-format patch (fixed upstream).
- Updated alt-mit-combined patch:
+ modprobe (2.6.x): do not try to save nonexistent /proc/ksyms in
/var/log/ksymoops (#4860).
+ modprobe, insmod (2.6.x): when insmod is invoked from modprobe, treat
EEXIST error from init_module syscall as success (fixes failure when
several modprobe processes are running in parallel - often happens with
hotplug).
- Added alt-release-memory patch:
+ depmod (2.6.x): instead of trying to load all modules into memory, keep
only some required tables from modules (decreases \"depmod -a\" memory
consumption on 2.6.10 module tree from 68M to about 7.5M).
- Updated alt-depmod-check-aliases, alt-modinfo-legacy patches for new
module-init-tools.

Sun Jun 27 08:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.27-alt2
- Added 2.6 support to insmod from modutils instead of invoking a dumb version
from module-init-tools; this adds the module path search capability and
--force option for 2.6 (#3914).
- Fixed depmod -A bugs:
+ 2.6: check mtime of all included config files, not just /etc/modules.conf
(#3960);
+ 2.4, 2.6: check only generated files which are really generated for the
used kernel version (previously depmod -A updated dependencies for 2.4.x
every time because of nonexistent modules.alias).
- Added alt-modinfo-legacy patch: add support for 2.4.x-style module parameters
to the new modinfo.
- Now using new modinfo from module-init-tools for all modules (no more
inconsistent output format and missing information depending on which kernel
is booted).
- Fixed module path search bug in insmod and modprobe (\'-\' and \'_\' should be
equivalent, but were not).
- Updated documentation to reflect recent changes.
- Updated BuildRequires.

Thu Mar 11 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.27-alt1
- modutils 2.4.27 release.
- module-init-tools 3.0 release.
- Dropped alt-alias-loop patch (merged upstream).
- Updated alt-aliases patch (bugfix part merged upstream).
- Added alt-warning-stderr patch: output warning messages to stderr (fixes
problem with the \"Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than...\" message
corrupting modprobe -c and --list-module-files output).

Sun Feb 29 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.26-alt2
- Removed builtin above and below commands from modprobe and placed them into
00kernel.modutils only for kernels < 2.5.x; fixes problems with hid module
loading in 2.6.x.

Thu Feb 19 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.26-alt1
- 2.4.26 release.
- Updated alt-aliases patch; removed broken alias for apm, fixed alias for pg.
- Dropped remove-aliases patch (builtin aliases for older kernels do not seem
to break 2.6.x).
- Replaced kernel24.modutils and kernel26.modutils with common 00kernel.modutils.
- Dropped parport.modutils (none of the lines there were really needed, and
\"options parport_pc irq=7\" did not work at all - #2784).
- Dropped configure-zlib patch (now --with-dynamic-zlib is available).
- Updated kernelversion patch from Dmitry V. Levin .
- Split glob-sort and list-module-files patches.
- Updated mit-combined patch for 2.4.26 (Makefile changes).

Tue Feb 17 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt22
- modprobe: added \"--list-module-files\" and \"--kernel-release=REL\"
support for mkinitrd.
- Sort files during glob expansion (fixes problems with undefined
order of /etc/modutils.d/* inclusion).

Mon Feb 16 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt21
- Added alias checking to depmod for 2.6 (some buggy modules specify
invalid aliases).
- Updated 2.6 support patch:
- fixed problem with \"depmod -A\" not updating dependencies after
modules.conf modifications.

Fri Feb 13 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt20
- modprobe: fixed alias loop detection.
- modutils.macros: reverted alt19 change (including modules.alias is
too slow).
- Fixed format string bugs in module-init-tools.
- Updated 2.6 support patch:
- always ignore \'-\'/\'_\' differences when comparing module names
- read modules.alias and modules.symbols only if regular alias and
probe/probeall lookup failed (reading these files is slow)
- with -L, take the printed module name from the file name
(workaround for mkinitrd which does not know about \'-\'/\'_\'
handling in 2.6)
- ignore more old options in insmod for 2.6

Tue Feb 10 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt19
- Merged with modutils-2.4.26-3 from Fedora.
- Updated module-init-tools to 3.0-pre9.
- modutils.macros: include modules.alias and modules.symbols for the current
kernel if they exist (for 2.6).
- Rewritten 2.6 support patch (now only modprobe is common for 2.4 and 2.6,
other utilities call versions from module-init-tools).
- kernel26.modutils: added back lost vlan_module alias.

Wed Feb 4 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt18
- updated 2.6 support patch from Gleb Stiblo :
+ fixed bug in /proc/modules parsing
- added Patch22: write modules.alias and modules.symbols only if they are
really needed (these files break old versions of modutils).

Fri Jan 16 07:00:00 2004 Sergey Vlasov 2.4.25-alt17
- fixed \"builtin\" aliases in kernel24.modutils, kernel26.modutils
