Re: Removing kernel module plugins for yum-utils

Hi Tim! One warning: I never looked really much into yum-fedorakmod myself. But I hope I (or someone else) will find time for it soon, as it could make things easier with the changes reg. the kernel variants that are planed for F11: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport E.g. I hope the plugin in the future can sure that the right kmods are installed when running "yum install kmod-foo" depending on what kenrel(s) are found on the system (e.g. in case of 32-bit-x86-Fedora that can he .i586, .x86_64, -PAE.i686 afaics). not sure, but maybe some support for this already is in yum-fedorakmod.

Everything will just work normally if kmods and kernel are pushed at the same time and if yum uses up2date mirrors. But some people don't want to get new kernel installed if new kmods are not yet available (or vice versa). yum-fedorakmod iirc can do that and so partly solves the problems outlined in https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-August/msg00041.html (the problem isn't getting solved for other packages like xine-lib and xine-lib-extras-nonfree). I never tried if that works these days, but I suppose it does. Well, there was a bug and that's fixed in head afaik. Maybe it would be better to drop it from yum-utils in Fedora and ship it as separate package in RPM Fusion? CU knurd
