[gentoo-user] module-rebuild script
Hi, The Gentoo newsletter mentioned the new module-rebuild script, so I emerged it and ran it with the following results. # module-rebuild list ** Packages which I will emerge are: =media-libs/svgalib-1..21-r1 =net-wireless/ieee80211-1.0.3-r2 =net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r3 So I ran # module-rebuild rebuild and it seemed to rebuild the three packages in question. As a check, I then ran module-rebuild list again, and it listed the same three modules as before. Am I missing something obvious? Fortunately, everything is still working.

This is the way it is supposed to work at the moment. module-rebuild list is meant to give you a list of modules that module-rebuild rebuild will rebuild. It does not check if the modules are already built for the kernel. Of course checking for this would be a great new feature for which you can submit a request to bugs.gentoo.org Am I missing something obvious? Fortunately, everything is still working. Hopefully this clarified things. Regards, Petteri Räty signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Of course checking for this would be a great new feature for which you can submit a request to bugs.gentoo.org Since module-rebuild was created based upon my kernelmod-rebuild script, I have filed an enhancement request http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110375 If I have the time, I will look at creating a patch to add to the enhancement request.
