This is the way it is supposed to work at the moment. module-rebuild
list is meant to give you a list of modules that module-rebuild rebuild
will rebuild. It does not check if the modules are already built for the
kernel. Of course checking for this would be a great new feature for
which you can submit a request to bugs.gentoo.org

Hopefully this clarified things.

[gentoo-user] module-rebuild script

[John Green]

Hi,

The Gentoo newsletter mentioned the new module-rebuild script,
so I emerged it and ran it with the following results.

# module-rebuild list
** Packages which I will emerge are:
        =media-libs/svgalib-1..21-r1
        =net-wireless/ieee80211-1.0.3-r2
        =net-wireless/ipw2100-1.1.2-r3

So I ran

# module-rebuild rebuild

and it seemed to rebuild the three packages in question.

As a check, I then ran module-rebuild list again, and it
listed the same three modules as before.

Am I missing something obvious?  Fortunately, everything is
still working.

Since module-rebuild was created based upon my kernelmod-rebuild script,
I have filed an enhancement request
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110375>

If I have the time, I will look at creating a patch to add to the
enhancement request.

Paul
