:
: This shouldn't be flaged as an mtree error. The reason that
: linker.hints was left behind is due to this file is generated by
: kldxref. The port/package runs kldxref during the install of the
: firmware module to update the existing or create a linker.hints file,
: and when the package is removed, it runs kldxref again to clean up the
: linker.hints file to only contain the modules in /boot/modules. It
: has no way to know if it is safe to remove this file.
:
: Should Kernel Modules be running kldxref in /boot/modules?
I think so. In general, one needs to run it for optimal performance.
: Should I change the port to have a do-install target that installs the
: bwi firmware kernel module so that it doesn't run kldxref during the
: install?
What do other firmware ports do here?
