Build package with linux kernel extra modules? #27

Closed 3v1n0 closed 3 weeks ago

3v1n0 commented 1 month ago

Various modules included in the ubuntu's linux-modules-extra-* packages aren't included in zabbly, would be possible to add an extra package with them?

As per things such as binder_linux

stgraber commented 3 weeks ago

We build with a config generally matching Ubuntu's with occasional re-syncs.

For this particular example (binder), the reason we don't have it is because binder cannot be built as a module in the mainline kernel, this is an Ubuntu-specific kernel change which allows it.

As we don't carry out-of-tree patches in this kernel build, binder will remain disabled until the mainline kernel supports building it as a module.
