The single MODULE_UTILS variable we have explicitly avoids having more than one set of module utilities installed, since it can only be set to one value. Placing the setting of this variable in kernel.rul seems reasonable, though ideally it would be in an arch/<arch>.rul (along with any other architecture specific settings) - that would avoid all of the ifeq $($(ARCH),) stuff, and be replaced with a simple include $(ARCH).rul. > > > ----- Forwarded message from Brian Elliott Finley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 12:58:10 -0500 > From: Brian Elliott Finley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: SIS Devel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: BOEL_NEEDS_THIS > > I was just puzzling over the ifdef DEPMOD_BINARY in Makefile, and got to > thinking, it would be nice if we could simply have a flag, that could be > set anywhere (like in any of the .rul files) to allow a package to claim > that they need X. > > Here's how it could work: > > In kernel.rul, > - 2.4 kernels could claim BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS=1 > - 2.6 kernels could claim BOEL_NEEDS_MOD_INIT_TOOLS=1 > > etc. > > In Makefile, or anywhere else, we could then do a: > - ifdef BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS > > And last but not least, in modutils.rul, we could do: > - ifdef BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS > > Comments? > > -Brian > > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------ > Brian Elliott Finley Argonne, MCS Division > Office: 630.252.4742 Mobile: 630.631.6621 > gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 10F8EE52 > ------------------------------------------------------ > > ----- End forwarded message ----- > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------ > Brian Elliott Finley Argonne, MCS Division > Office: 630.252.4742 Mobile: 630.631.6621 > gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 10F8EE52 > ------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Sisuite-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel
