Mic92: thanks for cleanup :D i think this is of some help for people trying to package out of tree kernel modules (it would have been for me at least)
<makefu>
what is the "format" hardening flag and is it really always needed to be removed?
<Mic92>
makefu: if people specify wrong printf formats the compiler might complain
<Mic92>
printf itself is not type-safe
<artturin>
wedens on the discord server figured out how to use local module derivations for every kernel https://paste.ee/p/VoQlg
nixoswikibot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
nixoswikibot has joined #nixos-wiki
<Mic92>
why?
<makefu>
artturin: i think it would fit to "building out-of-tree kernel modules" because the section would then be "loading out-of-tree kernel modules" :)
<artturin>
it says "yourmodulename" but it doesn't tell you how to use it in your config Mic92
<Mic92>
artturin: well, you should replace `yourmodulename` with the actual module name, or what I am missing here?
<artturin>
makefu: rename the "Packaging" category to "Out-of-tree modules" and add "Loading out-of-tree kernel modules"?
<artturin>
Mic92: before makefu added the packaging section there was no guide on how to package your module
<artturin>
now all thats missing is just how to add it to your config
<makefu>
good idea
<Mic92>
I think both section could be merged.
<artturin>
yeah merge "Developing kernel modules" and "Load modules in the kernel" to "Out-of-tree modules"
