Can anybody explain why pkgmk replaces the actual kernel version by "<kernel-version>" in footprints (the pipe
sed "s|\tlib/modules/`uname -r`/|\tlib/modules/<kernel-version>/|g"
in line 199)? It doesn't seem to be used by prt-get or any of the pkg-utils, and it makes .footprint unreliable as a TOC for other purposes.
This affects packages providing kernel modules (opt/madwifi for example). Each user has different kernel version, so a footprint (version) mismatch could be a common issue. I guess, that is the only real reason of this substitution. -- JID: fake.mike.k at gmail dot com IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux
