Summary: /lib/modules/*/modules.* should be excluded from install
logs
Product: Sorcery
Version: 1.x Series
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: subroutines
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: charkins AT pobox.com


Spells which install modules may run 'depmod' during their install process.
This
will cause the module dependency and map files to be tracked. Here are the
offending lines from 'gaze install NVIDIA_driver':

/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.generic_string
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.ieee1394map
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.isapnpmap
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.parportmap
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.pcimap
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.pnpbiosmap
/lib/modules/2.4.25/modules.usbmap

This problem has been fixed in autofs (bug #6264). The autofs spell was
explicity calling depmod in BUILD, so moving this to POST_INSTALL solved the
problem. The NVIDIA_driver spell (and perhaps others that install kernel
modules) call depmod from within their Makefile's (bug #6331). While it is
possible to fix the problem in each spell, it seems more reasonable to fix it
at
the sorcery level.

Unfortunately, it seems that the libsorcery::filter() function does not allow
patterns to be specified in /var/lib/sorcery/excluded, only absolute paths. A
pattern would be required in this case, as the kernel version exists in the
path.
