2127	Module-Init-Tools-3.4	ken@…	ken@…	"New version, new aggravations (make distclean no longer removes the binaries after the tests, and it needs docbook2man to generate man pages from the sgml.  Minor aggravations - it has moved again, to ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jcm/module-init-tools/ .

The 'home page' at kerneltools hasn't been updated in a long time.

I think I've now sorted out the aggravations from this in clfs (heh, LFS can get some benefits from clfs!), and I've got a patch to add formatted man pages (the alternative is to add docbook-utils into LFS - with it's several dependencies (all of BLFS chapter 43), that seems a non-starter).

But, I'm increasingly queasy about instructing people to run the testsuite: It produces binaries which aren't usable in the finished system (they reference environment variables, and seem to be purely designed for testing).  I found that out because 'make distclean' still does something, it's just that it's no longer useful, so I ended up installing the test versions, and then wondering why my system wasn't usable (see clfs-dev, December).  It seems to me that the testsuite here has now crossed the line from very-occasionally-useful to not-normally-worth-doing.
