Hey, A while back I opened a PR: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/4407
Etienne prompted me to try the ML too. The gist of it is: g1) LEDE core does not want to package all/certain in-tree kmods (bloat reasons, which is reasonable) g2) The `packages` feed would like to have certain in-tree kmods for certain packages There are 2 ways to handle this [minor conflict]: w1) each package in the feed packages it's own in-tree kmod w2) spin a copy of the core's `kernel` meta-package, and package kmods there I have no idea about the implications/side-effects [on bloat or whatever] of w2). Hence the RFC tag. The only benefits I see: a) it's a centralized package, where in-tree kmods [from core's kernel] would reside [which sounds nice] b) re-building the kmod would not require re-building the package [hopefully i did not misunderstand build dependency logic here] c) if another package would depend only on the kmod, it would need not re-build the entire package [ that defines it in the package feed ] I'm fine with either w1) or w2). So, far, it's only OVS that touches on this. The reason I prompted to spin up this RFC is seeing this [with ipvsadm/Load Balancer thingi] : i) https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/936 ii) https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/936/commits/05f3f8576291e6f0d59069d0f0a75aa0363db4bc For the kmods, I can agree the addition is big, but maybe it could make sense to have this package in such a `kernel-packages` package.
