module-rebuild shouldn't really have this task. it isn't the right place |
| 8 |
to do it. It will of course quite happily do what you need it to do, |
| 9 |
rebuild anything which installs a kernel module from portage. |

I don't particular feel comfortable doing this. the only place I can |
| 43 |
actually see this being of some use is with the pkg_config since an |
| 44 |
ebuild postinst is far too soon, and patching up Kbuild to do this is |
| 45 |
far too intrusive (let alone high maintenance). |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
A possibility (although I wouldnt like to promote it through portage) |
| 48 |
would be to have a wrapper/helper script which would do all of this for |
| 49 |
you. build-kernel or some such. But then... whats genkernel for right? |
