新消息：kmod替代module-init-tools

由于维护者宣布了module-init-tools项目的终止，一个新的项目加快了速度出来代替他的位置：kmod。这意味着是一种插入式替换(drop-in replacement)，虽然在module-init-tools里面被反对的功能还没有被重新实现。

如果在升级的过程，pacman把/etc/modproe.d/modprobe.conf移动到一个.pacsave，你应该把它移回去。这个 文件，和其他任何被module-init-tools读取的文件都仍然会被kmod读取。然而，kmod package不再包含空白的配置文件。你将会在manpages和二进制文件的–help的输出看到同样(如果没有更多的话)的文档。

News: kmod replaces module-init-tools

2012-01-21 – Dave Reisner

With module-init-tools being declared a dead project by its current maintainer, a new project has stepped up to take its place: kmod. This is intended to be a drop-in replacement, though deprecated functionality in module-init-tools has not been reimplemented.

If, upon upgrade, pacman moves /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to a .pacsave, you should move it back. This file, and any other config read by module-init-tools, is still read by kmod. However, the kmod package will no longer include a blank config file. You’ll find the same (if not more) documentation in the manpages and –help output for the binaries.
