Hi All,
This is a small series of changes to the filtering of kernel modules from core. Each
patch is a mostly self contained subject like usb/drm/network protocols. I split them out
to separate patches just to make each one easier to see the bits that were changing.
If I can recall correctly, one of the modular kernel packaging changes
was that you could only have kernel-core installed so I have to ask wont
this break running systems for users that are relying on things being in
kernel-core since then?
And since the kernel modular change was aimed to achieve the smallest as
well as the most flexible footprint I have to ask is there something
preventing putting every kernel module in it's own sub package (
kernel-module-<module> ) to prevent ( potential ) breakage in the
future as people go smaller and smaller which will eventually lead to
what I have described here.
