Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmod 25
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 17:54:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKi4VAKLMDhxZYq8mskO_EQWTHQKX+ikWHBK39DEDtM=R+H=QQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
kmod 25 is out:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-25.tar.xz
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-25.tar.sign
- Improvements
- Add module signature to modinfo output
- Add support for external directories in depmod: now there's a new
"external" keyword parsed by depmod when calculating the dependen=
cies.
It allows to add modules to other directories which are not relat=
ive
to where the modules are commonly installed. This results in
modules.dep and friends now understanding absolute paths rather t=
han
relative paths only. For more information see depmod.d(1).
- Add support for CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS
- Add missing documentation references in man pages
- Handle the case in which module has a .TOC symbol already while
calculating dependencies
- Improve testsuite and allow to use mkosi to run testsuite in diff=
erent
distros
Shortlog is below:
