Getting rid of sysprof-kmod
by Gianluca Sforna
Hi,
I just finished removing the sysprof-kmod package from CVS as mandated
by the new guidelines for F9 and above.
I am now seeking some help to understand what is needed to have again
the kernel module required for proper operations of the sysprof
package.
Upstream sources are at:
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/
Thanks in advance

True, they do (once we fix #409551 and preferably also stop mkinitrd
from creating the device node with the old numbers).
The installer doesn't though, as far as I know. It would need to do so.
Once we've started setting the clock in userspace, it then makes a
certain amount of sense to have the RTC drivers as modules instead of
building them in.
We'd need to make sure the right driver gets autoloaded, but that isn't
particularly hard.
While we're at it, I'd also quite like to have a sanity check after
setting the clock in rc.sysinit -- if it's before 2000 or so, I'd like
to set it from the latest timestamp found in /var/log. That's _also_
going to be wrong, but it's not going to be _so_ wrong that it prevents
you from even being able to log in as root to a VT :)

[RFC] Kernel subpackage for zImage wrapper.
by David Woodhouse
In arch/powerpc/boot/ in the kernel, there is wrapper code which lets
you make a combined zImage from fairly much arbitrary kernels and
ramdisks. We use it outside the context of the kernel build, for
building installer images, etc.
For a while we've had a copy -- in fact, two copies of different
vintages -- of this in the ppc64-utils package. This was about as
sensible as glibc-kernheaders was, and while upstream dicked around with
load addresses and other things to try to make sure it's compatible with
as many machines as possible, we lagged behind.
Just as we do now for headers, I'd like to spit out a
'kernel-bootwrapper' subpackage when we build the kernel. It depends on
a patch introducing 'make bootloader_install' which has been sent
upstream and will hopefully be accepted; the resulting bootwrapper
package has been confirmed to work for Efika (ppc32), Electra (the new
PA Semi ppc64 machine) and PS3.
Dave, Chuck -- does this look OK?
