Weak modules was shipped with Fedora to allow some testing for certain scenarios as things go forward. There was already a bug filed that it took too long to run on major kernel updates, so the call to the script was removed from the kernel post. Had someone filed a bug on this, it would have been looked at as well, and likely your module would just work instead of wasting time to write a blog post about how something is broken that you can't even be bother to file a bug over.

- mjw1007 5y agoThis appears to be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1962841 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1962841 , filed by the blog post author four days ago.
- jforbes_fedora 5y agoSo blog first, then file bug? Anyway, I am the kernel maintainer, but not the kmod maintainer, so I didn't see the bug. I did however create a pull request to remove the script from Fedora, and that was merged. I would expect it to make updates fairly soon. It is always better to ask if we can do something than just assume we can't or won't. Fedora is largely driven by what the community wants and needs.
