Has there actually been a formal request to do this? It is not my
concern, I just mentioned it in passing but I thought this is worth
confirming.

What about the request to have agp as modules to allow ati-driver

Hello all,
As you all well know by this point, the kernel developers have taken to
releasing minor updates every week or so (2.6.12.1, 2.6.12.2, etc.).
This has really increased the kernel maintenance workload for tpowa and
myself, because each kernel rebuild means that all extraneous modules
(nforce, ipw2X00, ltmodem, slmodem, etc.) need to be rebuilt with that
version.
To try save us some time, tpowa has reworked the kernel 2.6 PKGBUILDs
slightly. We still stay up to date with the latest minor revision of
the
kernels, but we change the internal version number so that the last
minor revision number is truncated. For example, when you install
kernel26-2.6.12.2-1 and run "uname -r", it will say 2.6.12 instead of
2.6.12.2.
This saves us time, because tpowa no longer has to rebuild all
extraneous modules with each minor revision upgrade. It means a quicker
build process and less time involved in moving kernel-related packages
back and forth between Extra and Testing.
If you have any questions or concerns, send them to the ML or myself
and
tpowa.
Thanks.

Good idea!
