dkms 2.0.14.1 is out for testing.  (2.0.14 was a dud, but someone may
have it by accident.  One of those "gee, I wonder what would happen if"
moments that happens right after one posts something you think is
perfect, but your subconcious knows isn't.).

As always, your testing is appreciated.  Barring any serious problems,
this is what I expect to call 2.0.15 and to release for use with
RHEL5.

Yes, I know it doesn't have an example RHEL5 KMP spec file like it
does for SLES9 and 10.  That's still work-in-progress over at
http://kerneldrivers.org, so go look there for examples if you're
needing to make those.

Changes since 2.0.13 (the current live release):

* Fri Feb 23 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com> 2.0.14.1
- After upgrading from older DKMS versions to 2.0.14, any previously
  installed modules wouldn't show status properly, and wouldn't
  uninstall properly, due to the new policy of using /extras/ and
  /updates/.  Needed to take that into account and look in both
  places.
- SuSE puts weak-modules in /usr/lib/module-init-tools not /sbin.

* Thu Feb 22 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com> 2.0.14
- RHEL5 weak module status report fixed

* Mon Feb 19 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com> 2.0.13.2
- RHEL5 weak module recognition with new state installed-weak
- autoinstaller recognizes installed-weak and doesn't rebuild
- RHEL5 and SLES10 and higher weak module code expects modules to go
  into /lib/modules/$kern/{extra,updates} respectively, so force that.

* Mon Feb 5 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com>
- patch from http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27985 assigns new
  modprobe.conf alias ordinals starting at zero.

* Fri Jan 12 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com> 2.0.13.1
- properly create driver disks for Fedora Core 6 and RHEL5
- make .iso, .tar, and floppy .img driver disks for Red Hat and SuSE
- set CLEAN properly even if MAKE[] isn't set.
- fix install.sh buglet installing the manpage



Thanks,
Matt
