* Package name : grepmap Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Scott James Remnant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/grepmap/ * License : GPL Description : Parse module map files produced by depmod This package contains a utility to parse the map files produced by the depmod tool in the module-init-tools package and output the list of modules you should load for a device. We've been using this in Ubuntu for some time, so I know it works well; I've just failed to get round to shifting it into Debian until now. I realise that this package will eventually be superseded by changes in (or rewrites of) the udev/hotplug stack. However, in the meantime it allows the process of booting a system using hotplug to be substantially sped up, by replacing some slow shell code that forks lots of subprocesses with faster C code. I expect this to be useful when experimenting with versions of d-i that use hotplug in the near future.
