From: Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Announce: modutils 2.4.9 is available Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 17:48:22 +1000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4 modutils-2.4.9.tar.gz Source tarball, includes RPM spec file modutils-2.4.9-1.src.rpm As above, in SRPM format modutils-2.4.9-1.i386.rpm Compiled with gcc 2.96 20000731, glibc 2.2.2. modutils-2.4.9-1.ia64.rpm Compiled with gcc 2.96-ia64-20000731, glibc-2.2.3. patch-modutils-2.4.9.gz Patch from modutils 2.4.8 to 2.4.9. Related kernel patches. patch-2.4.2-persistent.gz Adds persistent data and generic string support to kernel 2.4.2 onwards. Optional. Changelog extract * Update to latest config.guess/sub from ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/config. * Add sh (super-h) support from Niibe Yutaka. * IEEE1394 support by Kristian Hogsberg, cleaned up by KAO. * Add support for Alpha GPREL16, GPRELHIGH, GPRELLOW relocs. Fix short data section allocation order for Alpha and IA-64. Don't relocate non-allocated sections. Richard Henderson. * Mark the kernel as tainted for non-GPL modules or insmod -f. That last addition goes with the MODULE_LICENSE patch from Alan Cox and my patch for /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, mailed to linux-kernel on September 25, 07:00 GMT. If /proc/sys/kernel/tainted exists and you load a module with no license you will get a warning and the kernel will be tainted, expect a lot of warnings until AC has all modules patched. Even if /proc/sys/kernel/tainted does not exist, loading a module that has MODULE_LICENSE other than GPL or using insmod -f will result in a warning. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE7sDbFi4UHNye0ZOoRAqVVAKC3W5oq/RGiLbIUCbq2/w7jxMepagCfZclF RSchf8gvfuTJXRhfHg0I5q0= =F3yN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
