SubjectAnnounce: modutils 2.3.23 is available
Date
ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.3

patch-modutils-2.3.23.gz Patch from modutils 2.3.22 to 2.3.23
modutils-2.3.23.tar.gz Source tarball, includes RPM spec file
modutils-2.3.23-1.src.rpm As above, in SRPM format
modutils-2.3.23-1.i386.rpm Compiled with egcs-2.91.66, glibc 2.1.2
modutils-2.3.23-1.sparc.rpm Compiled for combined sparc 32/64
patch-2.4.0-test13-pre2.gz Adds persistent data and generic string
support to kernel 2.4.0-test13-pre2.

Changelog extract

* Correct error path in rmmod.c. Andrew Morton.
* Include latest Redhat alias list. Bill Nottingham.
* hppa and hppa64 support. Richard Hirst.
* Rework Makefiles for common 32/64 code. Keith Owens.
* Add parportmap. Adam J Richter, Keith Owens.
* Use GNU standards for cross compile. Maciej W. Rozycki.
* Fix bound check on generic_string. Bug reported by Jaroslav Kysela,
different patch by Keith Owens.
* Warn instead of error for invalid MODULE_PARM. Keith Owens.

Notes:

(1) Persistent data is not on by default, you must run insmod with -e
to support persistent data. If you are loading modules via
modprobe and you want persistent data for all modules then you need

insmod_opt -e ""

in /etc/modules.conf.

(2) Current kernels do not support persistent data nor generic strings.
You must apply patch-2.4.0-test13-pre2 to get kernel support for
these features.

(3) No modules currently have persistent data. Module writers who
want data to be persistent must make a one character change to
their modules, read the above patch. Even then, the user must
activate the persistent data, see note (1).
