This makes it easier + to install locally without overriding distro files. + +- Bug fixes + - Fix `modinfo -F` when module is builtin: when we asked by a specific field from modinfo, + it was not working correctly if the module was builtin + + - Documentation fixes on precedence order of /etc and /run: the correct order is + /etc/modprobe.d, /run/modprobe.d, /lib/modprobe.d + + - Fix the priority order that we use for searching configuration files. The + correct one is /etc, /run, /usr/local/lib, /lib, for both modprobe.d + and depmo.d + + - Fix kernel command line parsing when there are quotes present. Grub + mangles the command line and changes it from 'module.option="val with + spaces"' to '"module.option=val with spaces"'. Although this is weird + behavior and grub could have been fixed, the kernel understands it + correctly for builtin modules. So change libkmod to also parse it + correctly. This also brings another hidden behavior from the kernel: + newline in the kernel command line is also allowed and can be used to + separate options. + + - Fix a memory leak, overflow and double free on error path + + - Fix documentation for return value from kmod_module_get_info(): we + return the number of entries we added to the list + + - Fix output of modules.builtin.alias.bin index: we were writing an empty file due to + the misuse of kmod_module_get_info() + +- Infra/internal + - Retire integration with semaphoreci + + - Declare the github mirror also as an official upstream source: now besides accepting + patches via mailing list, PRs on github are also acceptable + + - Misc improvements to testsuite, so we can use it reliably regardless + of the configuration used: now tests will skip if we don't have the + build dependencies) + + kmod 28 ======= |
