Bug 220723 – emerge target like 'world' and 'system' for kernel modules

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Alexander Wright 2008-05-07 10:40:00 UTC]

After a kernel upgrade I'd like a simple command to re-emerge any packages that install kernel modules. Something like:

emerge kernel-modules

This would rebuild nvidia-drivers, media-video/gspcav1, and any other packages that install kernel modules.

Reproducible: Always

Try module-rebuild. This is exactly what you are looking for.

I forgot to mention, the package is in sys-kernel category and needs to be emerged first:

# emerge sys-kernel/module-rebuild

You could make your own package sets in portage-2.2, just like system and world.

Cheers for your help!

emerge sys-kernel/module-rebuild does the job.
