-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4 modutils-2.4.2.tar.gz Source tarball, includes RPM spec file modutils-2.4.2-1.src.rpm As above, in SRPM format modutils-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm Compiled with egcs-2.91.66, glibc 2.1.2 patch-modutils-2.4.2.gz Patch from modutils 2.4.0 to 2.4.2. Sparc and IA64 binaries to follow. Related kernel patches. patch-2.4.0-persistent.gz Adds persistent data and generic string support to kernel 2.4.0. Optional. Changelog extract * genksym changes: Remove 'attribute' as a C keyword, add 'restrict', '__restrict', '__restrict__', '_Bool'. Thanks to Richard Henderson. * Log modprobe commands in /var/log/ksymoops. This one's for Wichert. * Revert to a single USB table format. USB maintainers will not support anybody on 2.4.0-prerelease or earlier. This version of modutils is being released under protest. It completely drops support for USB device ids on kernel 2.4.0-prerelease and earlier. If you are running a kernel before 2.4.0 and you still want depmod support for USB tables on that earlier kernel, DO NOT install modutils 2.4.2. If you are switching between 2.4.0 and earlier kernels and you want USB support on old and new kernels then you have to switch versions of modutils when you switch your kernel. Breaking backwards compatibility goes completely against the grain for modutils. It goes to a lot of bother to support users on older kernels and to ensure that any mix of new modutils and old kernels will work, even down to kernel 2.0. The USB maintainers are refusing to support USB on anything older than 2.4.0, without that support Linus will not take my kernel patch that maintains backwards compatibility. So I have no choice but to break backwards compatibility. If you applied my kernel patch patch-2.4.0-hotplug, remove it and reboot after installing modutils 2.4.2. Note to distributors. The genksyms change corrects a bug which caused semi-random symbol checksums, changing the order of include statements could change the checksum. As a side effect of the fix, modules compiled with symbol versions using genksyms < 2.4.2 may not match a kernel compiled with genksyms >= 2.4.2 and vice versa. This correction should only affect binary only modules. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE6bWePi4UHNye0ZOoRAnMsAKDhHRNwFo7sdo0GKcFewM9cXd+gWACfTib5 r3yo+Gv3yDedJCMdkbA4CH0= =Krng -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
