Maybe don't rebuild kernel modules ? #23

I was thinking since the repo don't rebuild the kernel, maybe it shouldn't rebuild the kernel modules as well?

Even tho it don't seems to be an issue doing so, i don't think there will be a performance gain, and it may help with stability even if it stable, and may introduce some unintentional bugs.

How would you go about it? Manually blacklist them? Haskell packages were really easy to exclude, since they share a very specific makedep (ghc). Don't know if that applies to modules as well, since -headers alone seems too broad.

I thnk that this will need to be done manually :/
I think there is a spcecific makepkg for each one

Since they're don't seem to be an issue that the kernel modules is build in ALHP, and that the repo is more and more robust, I think we can close this issue?

I agree. Maybe there are no benefits, but excluding them would add more complexity.

As soon as there are (general) problems we need to reevaluate this.
