Package: modutils
Version: 2.4.11-1
Severity: wishlist
When ./configure is run with --enable-zlib the resulting build will allow
loading module.o.gz files and decompressing them with gzip at load time. On
my system I save 3.6M of disk space per kernel version by doing this (as I
typically have 4 different kernel versions installed that gives a saving of
14.4M of disk space!
Also this can save space on initrd images too as the amount of disk space
saved by compressed modules will usually be greater than the increase in the
size of insmod (908 bytes) and the size of the zlib (54604 bytes) plus the
size of the directory entry for zlib.
One option would be to have a separate package for modutils which uses zlib so
that the administrator can decide which one suits their needs.
Please note that I don't expect anything to be done about this for woody!
I am filing the bug report now so that I don't forget to file it, and so that
people who want such functionality can learn about it through the BTS.

This package has been removed from Debian unstable. I'm therefore
closing this bug report. The package has been removed because it
has been replaced by module-init-tools. modutils was for 2.4 kernels
only. It's quite unlikely that your bug still exists in
module-init-tools, but please let me know if it does.
