It's a valid request, feel free to open a bz.
Looks at this example:
%post kmod-%{kverrel}
for k in $(cd /lib/modules && /bin/ls); do
[ -d "/lib/modules/$k/kernel/" ] && depmod -a "$k"
done
if [ -x "/sbin/weak-modules" ]; then
for m in sfc sfc_resource sfc_char onload sfc_affinity; do
echo "/lib/modules/%{kernel}/extra/$m.ko"
done | /sbin/weak-modules --add-modules
fi
%postun kmod-%{kverrel}
for k in $(cd /lib/modules && /bin/ls); do
[ -d "/lib/modules/$k/kernel/" ] && depmod -a "$k"
done
if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then # Erase, not upgrade
if [ -x "/sbin/weak-modules" ]; then
for m in sfc sfc_resource sfc_char onload sfc_affinity; do
echo "/lib/modules/%{kernel}/extra/$m.ko"
done | /sbin/weak-modules --remove-modules
fi
fi
