Summary

0000178: modutils/module-init-tools package

Description

This patch provides modutils and module-init-tools. I know busybox can load modules, but modinfo may also be very useful for kernel/driver debugging purposes.

I have managed binaries concurrency between modutils and module-init-tools, but I'm not sure this is the best way to do it...

Thanks for your work.

Notes
(0000115) david_bachelart 03-22-05 13:27	I just uploaded a second patch. It avoids now building man pages for module-init-tools. The old patch had a buggy behaviour if you invoke make on an existing rootfs. tested on i386

(0000235) db 06-07-05 08:48	Another reason to want module-init-tools rather than use what's built in to "busybox" that busybox doesn't yet handle the kernel MODULE_ALIAS construct, which is starting to be used by fancier hotplug and kmod infrastructure. Briefly, very small hotplug scripts can look like: modprobe $MODALIAS And that will replace both hotplug scripts and diethotplug. (Plus there are several bugs in the busybox module tools, like not working on 2.6 kernels unless you also configure 2.4 support, and some glitches in parameter handling...) Yes, please merge ...
