All, in preparation to unmask udev-181, it was brought to my attention that a number of packages in the tree have direct dependencies on module-init-tools. Udev-181 requires kmod, which is a replacement for module-init-tools.
I have added virtual/modutils to the tree which as of now prefers module-init-tools over kmod. The dependencies on module-init-tools in the tree should be changed to virtual/modutils. I am willing to do this myself if no one objects. If I do, should I open individual bugs for the packages? Also, this brings up another question. I replaced module-init-tools in the system set with virtual/modutils. But, since it is possible to have a linux system with a monolithic kernel, should this even be in the system set? If not, once the dependencies are correct, I propose dropping virtual/modutils from the system set. On the other hand, if we want virtual/modutils in the system set, there should be no dependencies in the tree on virtual/modutils. Thoughts? William
