If we guarantee kABI stability, why cannot kmp require kernel version >= build version?
I can we get rid of it now, but the old KMP has already the dependency, so it's no help at this time :)
And what about Provides?
As maintainer of VirtualBox on openSUSE, I would like to know how to prevent this in the future. My understanding of the build process is rather rudimentary.
The "proper" fix would be to reintroduce the ksym() dependencies, i.e. make the KMPs depend on the kernel ABI checksums rather than the kernel release string. But this has been explicitly disabled by the maintainer of rpm, because results in too big package metadata. The second best thing is some check to ensure that each kernel update is accompanied by all openSUSE KMPs.
