which will likely break something else, additionally it does not handle suse addition "unsupported modules" which IMHO has no pĺace whatsoever here anyway.If there is such thing as unsupported module in openSUSE, it should warn laud at load time in the kernel message log about this fact or simple be excluded from the distribution completely.
Well, the "unsupported modules" patch in module-init-tools needs to be ported to kmod, if we want to replace module-init-tools with kmod.
For SLE or for openSUSE? What does 'supported' mean on openSUSE? If you mean for SLE: sorry, wrong audience: we do not care about this here.
I'd like us (openSUSE) making sure we try to work with SLE in mind too (since SLE is based on openSUSE), not against it (at least, when it doesn't mean a lot of work dumped on openSUSE). Of course, a solution could also be to reach module-init-tools maintainer or the person who wrote the patch for module-init-tools and ask him to port it to kmod.
I agree: not to work 'against' SLE, but being blocked by stuff which is for SLE is wrong for openSUSE. If it's an easy hack/fix, let's move it on... otherwise, if SLE folks care about it, they should also port the functionality or stick to the previous technology that works for them...
That's what I have in mind when stating that openSUSE must not stall because of SLE decisions (This is actually the only way we can prove that *WE* as a community control openSUSE, and not the SLE-PM)
I agree with Dominique, patches for SLE should not block openSUSE development. The patch can be added whenever SLE needs it - by some engineers getting paid for SLE - and we should just move on. Dominique, if you ever see openSUSE stalling because of SLE decisions, tell me! I don't want to see that either. Let's just be friendly citiziens and inform our downstream SLE about this. I'll ping those guys that wrote the module-init-tools unsupported patch so that they have this on their radar.
