This just breaks people's override lists. : - gather all vfs modules into sys/modules/fs (pseudofs and linprocfs : are already there, procfs will be there shortly) Why bother? This just breaks people's override lists. : - gather all storage-related modules (RAID and SCSI controller : drivers, CAM, ccd, vinum etc.) into sys/modules/storage too artificial, imho. : - gather all image activators and ABI compatibility modules into : sys/modules/compat Why bother? This just breaks people's override lists. : - gather all the USB drivers into sys/modules/usb Why bother? This just breaks people's override lists. : - put whatever's left into sys/modules/misc Why bother? This just breaks people's override lists. : I know this means a lot of repo-copies, and it may not be worth the : hassle if the new kernel & module build system materializes in the : very near future, but at least some of this (the syscons module : sources) needs to move no matter what. I'd agree with the source move, but let's leave well enough alone until Peter does the build stuff.
