Description Matthias-Christian Ott 2010-04-14 22:31:50 CEST

The kmod-staging hasn't been updated since four months. Today I installed a Fedora 13 Beta system which has a Realtek RTL8187SE, but unfortunately kmod-staging is build for Linux 2.6.32, but Fedora 13 now comes with 2.6.33, so I couldn't use the package.

Could you please update the package for the upcoming release? Is it possible that you can keep the package automatically in sync with Fedora's kernel?

I want that non-technical users who can't build RPMs after each new kernel update are able to use kmod-staging without difficulty.

Automatically? That's a longer story.

The short one: kmod for released version are normally kept in sync with Fedora
