#84709 — Moving kernel modules under /usr/lib in installer

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi Cyril,

In the latest version of kernel-wedge I added support for modules being
packaged under /usr/lib/modules/$kernelversion rather than
/lib/modules/$kernelversion.  Whichever of those directories is found
under $SOURCEDIR will be used in the udebs.

All the regular packages built from src:linux have been usr-moved, but
it still makes modules appear under
$SOURCEDIR/lib/modules/$kernelversion when invoking kernel-wedge, as
required by earlier versions.  I would like to remove this workaround,
which would result in usr-moving the udebs as well.

I know the installer environment has been usr-merged for some time, so
I don't expect this to cause any problems.  But do you see any issue
with this?

Ben.

Not at the top of my head, feel free to deploy this, and thanks for the
heads-up!
