fs/dlm and fs/ocfs2 are not shipped in default opensuse kernel config. If user DO want to use ocfs2 and dlm in openSUSE kernel, at least he or she should, 1) recompile the kernel (enable ocfs2 and dlm) with /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules sets allow_unsupported_modules as 1 2) and install ocfs2-tools with --nodeps.
Note: Supported/unsupported does not make sense for openSUSE at all and therefore there's no -extra kernel with openSUSE anymore, this concept does not make sense for openSUSE.
So, my recommendation here is for openSUSE 11.2 is either: * revive the ocfs2-kmp packager or * enable ocfs2,dlm in the kernel-package and put proper obsoletes/provides in place
Therefore, IMHO only dropping ocfs2-kmp dependence from ocfs2-tools does not help. My suggestion is, can we place the above explanation in some document ?
Sorry no, we're not forcing anybody to recompile their kernel,
OCFS2 should be enabled in the opensuse kernel. Period.
If it's not, it's a bug.
Looking at yesterday's master repo, it's enabled. This is just a packaging issue.
So, let's add a provides/obsoletes to the kernel-packages. Michal, could you do this, please?
