Description John Hardin 2012-12-15 21:54:10 UTC 
I use RCS for revision control of system configuration files. This causes sys-apps/module-init-tools to whine every time it's emerged:

  WARN: postinst
  The '/etc/modprobe.d/RCS' file needs to be upgraded to end with a '.conf'.
  Either upgrade the package that owns it, or manually rename it.

This name check should only be performed on regular files (not directories), or there should be an exception for "RCS".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use RCS for revision control of the files in /etc/modprobe.d

Actual Results:  
Complaints about the name of the RCS directory in /etc/modprobe.d

Expected Results:  
Silence.

module-init-tools is a dead package and replaced by kmod
Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-12-15 22:18:22 UTC 
as in, if this is a problem with kmod, we can maybe look into it wrt reporting to upstream, but m-i-t has no upstream (or downstream) and it will be lastrited after stabilization of kmod
