Packaging kernel modules.
I am trying to package compcache. Control.modules.in does not seem to be used by debuild. Other packages of compiled modules in Ubuntu don't seem to use control.modules.in. Am I correct in assuming that control.modules.in is only used when users compile their own modules using the module assistant? Also, is there a recommended way of overriding "uname -r" in upstream modules? Add a custom path with custom uname executable. Patch the upstream source? -- John C.

What process do I need to follow to get this approved? (I have the source package and http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html I can create a linux-ubuntu-modules source package that includes compcache, but will that actually help anyone?) -- John C.

If you can create a diff to linux-ubuntu-modules and put it in launchpad, and then contact [EMAIL PROTECTED], that ought to do. I wouldn't necessarily expect this to happen until after hardy's released, though. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

OK, I've put freeze exception requests in, but will not be surprised if they are rejected. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/193552 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/200765 -- John C.
