See tracker bug 350792. virtual/modutils packages: sys-apps/module-init-tools sys-apps/modutils Please convert to a new-style virtual. Note: The virtual is used as a blocker, but with only two providers this shouldn't be a problem.
Another easy case. I'll convert it to a new-style virtual in one week from now, unless there are objections.
OTOH, both openrc and baselayout-1* depend on module-init-tools, which blocks against modutils. Maybe the virtual should be removed entirely?
Could someone from base-system please comment on the status/usefulness of sys-apps/modutils? - Looks like the package cannot be installed without some tricks (like package.providing module-init-tools, because baselayout depends on it since 2006). - Users of kernel 2.4 could use module-init-tools-3.5 or -3.6-r1.
No reply from maintainers. I've removed the virtual now.
