"This yum plugin ensures that new kernel packages will get the same
"kmdls" installed like the currently installed kernels have."
Does that mean it will prevent a kernel from getting installed if the
matching kmdls are not available?
No, I didn't want a security update to be ladt off if it missed a
kmdl. But if you install a kernel the moment it gets released (and
therefore there are no kmdls yet available) once the kmdls are there
yum-plugin-kmdl will make yum update get them for you.
I wasn't able to find anything else on it, not even at
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumPlugins
I had submitted this plugin some while back and there was positive
response, but it wasn't merged into yum-utils yet.
