Hi all,
I've commited a draft of a new config.xml schema.
I tried not to break everything but some things needs changing, in its actual
form, most packages won't build with the new schema. Of course, this is a
draft so it can evolve.
In the commit is included a sample config.xml as everybody don't speak xsd
fluently :-)
Erich pointed out a functionnality which must be implemented on packages which
concerns kernel related packages.
The issue is: kernel related packages (drivers, for instance) needs some work
(typically, recompilation) when a new kernel is installed. This could be done
automatically.
My idea is:
such a package contains a 'post-kernel' file which is an executable, beside
post-install, pre-install and other scripts. This exec do the work needed
when kernel is updated on the client.
There is a command 'update-kernel-modules' which can be launched each time a
kernel is updated. This command launch each registered 'post-kernel' file.
This command can not be launched automatically, because we can not re-package
each kernel packages for every distributions.
Nevertheless, on some distros, this mechanism already exists so the opkg
compiler could make the 'post-kernel' script to be registered to the right
tool (the existing update-kernel-module on the distro).
Am I clear ? Does this makes sense ?
Best regards,
Jean
