[Bug 563436] Re: comedi drivers are missing completley in the /lib/modules dir

Thu Apr 15 09:03:38 UTC 2010

** Tags added: kernel-lucid

** Description changed:

  The kernel modules for comedi were available in karmic but have disappeared from lucid. In the original kernel package comedi exists:
  bp1 at bp1-lab:/usr/local/src$ ls -l linux-2.6.32.11/drivers/staging/
  total 176
  drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 23:59 altpciechdma
  drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 23:59 android

  drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-04-01 23:59 dream
  whereas in the precompiled modules comedi is missing:
  bp1 at bp1-lab:/usr/local/src$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/
  total 128
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-14 22:16 altpciechdma
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-14 22:16 asus_oled

  Note that I have reported a comedi related bug for karmic (Bug #483343)
- and it was promised that this would be fixed upstream. Well. I didn't
- expect the entire driver framework would be removed.
+ and it was promised that this would be fixed for lucid.
  
  Can you guys include comedi in 2.6.32. That would be great if that could
- be fixed before the release of lucid.
+ be fixed before the release of lucid because I (and the comedi
+ community) was really looking forward to an ubuntu with all comedi
+ drivers installed. We have spent quite a lot of effort to get comedi
+ into the mainstream kernel and comedi is used by many users.
