Howdy Ho,
I got the yum kernel module plugin working for both kernel-module and
kmdl rpm's. It has two bugs in it, but they aren't fatal, they just
spew out too much output.
I have tested this to install a kernel-module based package. I have
tested this to install a kdml based package. Both worked great.
I have installed a new kernel, and it correctly got all the
kernel-modules and kdml's.
If you are curious, here is the output from when I am installing a new
kernel with both a kernel-module and a kdml already installed.
The madwifi and fuse shown here may or may not be what's in the release.
I really just moved these from SL4 and recompiled them.
This is from yum 3.0.3, with the newest yum-metadata-parser. It's
really pretty fast compared to older yums.
