- alsaconf is only useful with ISA and PCMCIA cards - update-modules script that was installed with module-init-tools is no longer installed with kmod, and the script was no-op: file : http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-utils-1.0.26-kmod.patch?rev=1.1&view=markup plain: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-utils-1.0.26-kmod.patch?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain - our documentation might have to be updated to drop the alsaconf references and we have bug 455370, see discussion there futher, from Freenode #systemd (udev): 21:21 < falconindy> ssuominen: i would urge you to drop alsaconf. 21:22 < kay> what's update-modules? 21:22 < falconindy> but even upstream wants it to die. 21:22 < falconindy> "The only valid use-case for alsaconf is aiding the configuration of ISA sound cards." 21:22 < falconindy> ISA. 21:23 < notting> ISA??? 21:23 < ssuominen> kay: I just realized update-modules is specific script that was installed with module-init-tools on Debian, Gentoo, ... 21:23 * notting tries to remember how many years ago we dropped sndconfig 21:23 < ssuominen> distro-specific issue 21:23 < kay> pcmcia sounds cards :)
Found out the root cause why alsaconf is currently broken, it's because depmod from kmod doesn't create modules.pcimap file anymore: /usr/sbin/alsaconf: done < $MODDIR/modules.pcimap >> $1 But in mailing list the general consensus is to drop alsaconf so it doesn't really matter.
dropped in 1.0.26-r3
