Moved ath_pci blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf
for better jockey support.
-LP: #323830

51. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-03-13

* New upstream pre-release:
  - modprobe will die if a module dependency fails to load.
  - bug fixes.

50. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-03-13

debian/module-init-tools.postinst: Correct call to depmod to include
kernel version. LP: #341955.

49. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-03-11

debian/module-init-tools.links: Create an /sbin/lsmod symlink, that's
always been the location in Debian/Ubuntu. We want to keep /bin/lsmod
since that's the upstream location. LP: #340666.

Cannot call update-initramfs without depending on initramfs-tools,
and we don't want to do that; but we can do this a different way by
using Breaks to force an update of initramfs-tools.

debian/control: module-init-tools should depend on initramfs-tools

46. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-03-09

* Repackage afresh for Ubuntu based off an upstream GIT import into bzr,
  rather than the Debian package.
* New upstream pre-release:
  - many bug fixes. LP: #99547, #292887, #303613, #284001.
  - much profiling and optimisation work.
  - depmod generates and modprobe uses binary indexes for module lists,
    giving a significant performance benefit.
  - legacy support for pre-2.6 kernels dropped.
  - module ordering support. LP: #118040, #317724.
  - updated documentation. LP: #203828, #259791.

* /etc/modprobe.d/aliases: Dropped this file, the kernel has been able to
  export the {char,block}-major-* aliases for a while and adding them to the
  appropriate modules is a one line patch. All aliases present here have
  been added to the Ubuntu kernel if not already present. LP: #332357.
* /etc/modprobe.d/isapnp: Dropped this file, the modalias strings in it were
  not current with the strings produced by pnpacpi in the kernel (pnpbios
  does not produce any modalias strings), and this kind of thing is better
  off done with kernel patches.
* /etc/modprobe.d/options: Dropped this file, changes to default kernel
  options should be changed in the kernel so that they also take effect if
  the module is built-in; and also to make sure they're kept in sync with
  any changes to option names or defaults (or even module names) in the
  kernel.
* /etc/modprobe.d/arch/*, /etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases: Dropped the arch
  directory and the symlink into it, these aliases and/or options are
  handled by kernel patches now.

* /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-amd76-edac: Merged with the ordinary blacklist
  file, since it only contains one line.
* /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist{,-*}: Files renamed to end in ".conf" as
  required by new upstream version.a

* /sbin/update-modules: This deprecated command has been removed.
* Completely non-parallel-installable with modutils. LP: #208874.

* All patches either merged upstream or dropped:
  - always_apply_blacklist: merged
  - blacklist-warn.diff: dropped. LP: #66423.
  - fix_8bit: merged
  - fix_sgml: merged
  - ignore_arch_directory: dropped
  - insmod-segv: merged
  - last_good_boot: dropped
  - modprobe_conf_and_directory: dropped
  - runparts_like_names: merged
  - silence_modprobe: dropped
  - use_blacklist_doc: merged

* Note that from this version of module-init-tools, all configuration files
  in /etc/modprobe.d should end with ".conf", support for other names is
  retained with a warning but will be dropped.
* Note that the Ubuntu -Q option to modprobe has been dropped, to silence
  modprobe use -q.

Blacklist vt8623fb video framebuffer driver. By default we want all
framebuffer drivers blacklisted but this one is missing. (LP: #208137)

44. By Tim Gardner on 2009-01-31

Blacklist ath_pci in favor of ath5k. See extended discussion in
extra/modprobe.d/blacklist.
LP: #315056

43. By Tim Gardner on 2008-12-26

[ Andy Whitcroft ]

* We are enabling both the old and new firewire stacks, for this to work
  we need to blacklist one of them. To maintain backwards compatibility
  blacklist the new one.
  LP: #276463

* Copy all files in extra/modprobe.d except for arch specific files.
  LP: #297750
