Hi all!
Inspired by Linus, I have decided to fulfill my longstanding promise to make a new official release of the module support utilities... Even though I haven't had the time to include everything from my to-do list, this release is at least a clean-up of the betas.
Notable news from 1.3.57:
- More correct ELF-handling in insmod - Insmod support for Sparc - More pre-configured "alias" entries for modprobe - The modprobe configuration file can be named "/etc/modules.conf" - New commands available in the modprobe configuration file - BFD support for modprobe - Optional support for persistent module storage (needs libgdbm) - Support for kerneld protocol extension (include the pid)
There are a lot of small fixes, code movements and documentation upgrades...
In the next release (for 2.1) you should hopefully see a full BFD version (without any need for an extra "ld" pass), where modprobe and insmod will become merged into one executable. There will also be a kerneld blacklist. Perhaps the kerneld protocol will be implemented a bit different as well, but that depends on the linux-2.1 development...
Anyway, you can download it from my web-page, as well as from the more popular ftp sites.
Cheers,
Bjorn <bj0rn@blox.se> <http://www.pi.se/blox/>
