Copy it unless you want to create and maintain such a file yourself. It looks like it is created manually (unless some of the info can be extracted from kernel device driver files automatically with some helper script, but modinfo has not been used as it seems).

Config/installer related packages such as redhat-config-network or anaconda-runtime contain an own local copy/version of that file. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Q3wp0iMVcrivHFQRAgCFAJ9npkY7KxsTJQ1smogqtQcYw+TwDQCePrgp 0B38LE8aESlWBiiWjk6Mv5c= =RTUa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
