But then... whats genkernel for right?
Actually, genkernel does have the --callback option, which runs an external command before finalizing the build. We use it for building external modules and packages that require a configured kernel when building the releases, but I think adding an option to genkernel wouldn't be bad to do this for you. We could add a command-line switch to genkernel to automatically rebuild any external modules after it has built the kernel. We could use something like --autorebuild. You could then do something like "genkernel --autorebuild all" to build your new kernel and automatically rebuild all of your external modules. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
