Hmmm, it still does not say how to go about it as a packager. As far as
I understand it one should not use dvb-bt8xx on a kernel without the
absolute latest fashion, so in 2.4.21 one should `rm dvb-bt8xx.o` and
not ship it along. Right? (and thereby get rid of the bogus depmod
warning)
Ah, that's true. But how could we solve this? IMHO distributions
must either patch their kernel or patch build-2.4/Makefile.
Or we change build-2.4/Makefile to omit dvb-bt8xx.o by default,
or add some logic to detect the kernel patch...
What do you think?
As a packager, a simple `remove` can be done in the packaging script,
no need to clean it from build-2.4/Makefile. The only thing would be
to clarify it, may be add a comment in the makefile itself telling us?
For 2.4, a "dvb-bt8xx" user needs the bttv 0.9.x driver from bytesex.org
(and this requires a fairly recent 2.4 kernel). The 2.4 in-kernel bttv
driver is not sufficient.
