Hi,

just to let you know that come SLES10/SL10.1, SUSE will package kernel modules differently, in their own sub-packages. (I've already internally converted drbd to this mechanism of course, you'll see that appear in the next beta if you look ;-)

This mechanism eases building kernel module packages by 3rd parties considerably. It is also being rolled out for SLES9. You may wish to investigate using this for your own packages you provide to customers...

Docs are available at http://www.suse.de/~agruen/KMPM/

Enjoy,
Lars
