[Mageia-dev] [RFC] new ldetect, using libkmod

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Thierry Vignaud at 06/01/12 10:56 did gyre and gimble:
> Hi

> I've uploaded in core/updates_testing a new ldetect, using libkmod instead
> of libmodprobe. I've also fixed several memleaks.
> There you'll find a drakxtools rebuild for this new libldetect.
> 
> This result in:
> - faster lspcidrake
> - using quite less RAM ; eg on my test machine:
>   o harddrake2 uses 106M of resident memory instead of 127
>   o mcc utilise uses 47M of resident memory instead of 48M
> 
> Output of lspcidrake should be the same as before modulo for some ISA bridges.
> Please report any significant change.

> How to test:
>   lspcidrake > /tmp/pci1
>   urpmi.update 'Core Updates Testing'
>   urpmi --media='Core Updates Testing' ldetect
>   lspcidrake > /tmp/pci2
>   diff -u /tmp/pci[12]

My diff:

[root at jimmy ~]# diff -u /tmp/pci[12]

So I think a small regression (tho it is in BRIDGE_ISA as you mentioned).

Not sure I want the leds_ss4200 driver here :D
