Description of problem:

Not sure how m-i-t reads in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* files are,
but having a common file ending like *.conf would be good to automatically
make sure backup and other files are not considered as blacklist files.

I'd like to request this type of enhancement also for /etc/depmod.d  .  I have
/etc under revision control and just did a kernel update on F7 and got this:

Something like *.conf is fine with me and maybe even ignore dotfiles?

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 03:00:27 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 4 Jon Masters 2009-03-13 18:42:37 UTC
Actually, we're requiring files to end in .conf upstream in due course and added logic to trap obvious RPM files. Therefore I will close this bug now.
