Hi Panu,
Would you be able to send me your plugin.
I guess you're right in that nobody agreed on which format. We do
kernel-module-<module name>-<uname -r>. The module's version number is
then the rpm's version number.
But I think I should be able to modify your's enough to work with ours.
And I'll at least not be starting from scratch if it comes to a whole
new re-write.
Thanks
Troy
