Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Here's a proposal to add support for automatically rebuilding kernel |
| 4 |
modules when dist-kernels are upgraded. The behavior is entirely |
| 5 |
opt-in, so the users of other kernels are not affected. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The proposal adds a new global flag 'dist-kernel'. It is off by default |
| 8 |
and has no functional effect for people who do not enable it. However, |
| 9 |
when it is enabled, it causes linux-mod.eclass to inject a := dependency |
| 10 |
on virtual/dist-kernel in the packages installing kernel modules. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
When the user upgrades one of the dist-kernel packages to a newer |
| 13 |
version, an update of virtual/dist-kernel is triggered. This in turn |
| 14 |
causes a change of subslot and provokes rebuilds of all kernel modules. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This represents the next step towards enabling kernel maintenance free |
| 17 |
of manual intervention. |
