True.

True. That's a weakness in the ports system, which is why we have
portupgrade. However, I didn't want to require portupgrade for
something so 'simple'.
: 2) You can't control where the module gets put - arguably this isn't a

: /boot/modules, or some analog to it that is in $PREFIX.
It should go in /boot/kernel, and not into $PREFIX, but that's a
philisophical problem I have with ports. ALL modules should be in /,
imho, since you don't know if the module is required to mount /.
: I guess the problem with mandating somewhere in $PREFIX is that the loader
: can't load it, so that's no good. I guess the only choice left is
: /boot/modules.
/boot/kernel
: Any comments?
Well, the patch was mostly a strawman to promote discussions about the
issues.
