Description Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-03-15 22:57:42 UTC 
Currently we stillc all /lib/modules/scripts/* scripts in %pre, %preup, %post, and %postun during kernel installs. This was used for linking closed-source objects with open-source modules before (nvidia). AFAIK we don't need this mechanism anymore; I would like to remove this hack.

Any reasons for keeping the scripts?

No, feel free to remove this mechanism. BTW, the scripts themselves should already have been removed.

Indeed, yes.
Comment 3 Andreas Gruenbacher 2006-03-16 15:38:40 UTC 
Okay, done.
