Description Need Real Name 2003-04-03 10:05:11 EST

mkinitrd has never supported reading of /lib/modules/$kernel/modules.dep to
handle dependencies in loaded modules, hence deps must be explicitely written in
mkinitrd source, and bugs often appear when kernel people split/merge modules.

here is a patch that adds this missing feature.

not interested at all?

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2003-04-24 09:49:31 EDT

Just busy :(

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-06-10 23:42:28 EDT

Mostly committed.  Still have to do a couple of "dep" resolves by hand as
they're things that aren't necessarily direct module dependencies as far as
modutils is concerned even if they don't work otherwise (eg, the i2o stack).

Will be in 3.5.0-1

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2003-06-17 11:19:39 EDT

Thanks. You forgot to add me in the list of "contributors" at the top of
/sbin/mkinitrd (tested in 3.5.3) though.
