I had experienced some checksum mismatch before. A few packages which just work can not pass checksum matching. I guess it may be caused by hosting or tarball changing without notice. For I am not very clear how the global checksum.ini is maintained.

Originally, people have to use a load_modules.sh script instead install .kos to lib/modules directory. I think a startup script in /etc/init.d and a setting file in /etc is a next step work, after find out some optimal settings on certain platform/distro combination. The rzscontrol is compiled to native binary with hardcoded in stock tar ball, change to use ${CCLD} make it work arch independent. > This one is on naming.

I am sorry for mis-naming the module package. Agree with you. And which is better do you think: mix rzscontrol and kernel modules or put modules in kernel-module-compcache put rzscontrol in kernel-module-compcache-utils (or compcache-utils) > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-devel mailing list > Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel >
