kmod 23 is out:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-23.tar.xz
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-23.tar.sign
- Improvements:
- Don't add comment to modules.devname if it would otherwise be empty
to play nice with tools detecting empty files
- Allow building with BSD sed, that doesn't have -E flag
- Ignore .TOC. symbols in depmod parsing as it's for PPC64 the
equivalent of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
- Teach modinfo about PKCS#7 module signatures: it doesn't add any
other info besides telling the user the module is signed since
kernel doesn't add other info on the module section
- Bug fixes
- Fix -s and -p compat options to insmod triggering force flag
- Fix long lines from /proc/modules not being handled correctly by
kmod_module_new_from_loaded() and kmod_module_get_size() and several
other library functions that use them
- Fix crash on modinfo while checking for available signature of
unknown type
- Fix documentation generation with gtk-doc
