Description:
Currently, modules located in /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH/
are not listed nor completed when using modprobe, insmod or modinfo.

The attached patch + PKGBUILD add support for the extramodules path.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.3-2 and previous

Steps to reproduce:
Install "somemodule.ko" in /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH
modprobe somemo [TAB] -> Nothing happens
   PKGBUILD (1.1 KiB)
   extramodules.patch (1.1 KiB)

Reason for closing:  Deferred
Additional comments about closing:  Thanks for your work getting this in upstream. I intend to update bash-completion with a git tarball soon to fix this and other issues. I'm waiting for pacman to leave testing as they changed the completions location so all pkg with completions will need to be adjusted.

Obviously, request topic is wrong. I meant /lib/modules/extramodules-* (doh!)

Ignoring that this should be sent upstream and not dropped here, the patch is wrong. You should be modifying the _modules function to look in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extramodules.

Yep, I forgot about the symlink.

$ ls -ld /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extramodules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 29 nov 08.59 /lib/modules/3.1.4-1-ARCH/extramodules -> ../extramodules-3.1-ARCH

So there's no need to fetch directly from /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1-ARCH,
a simple -L flag to ls in enough (it will not follow symlink otherwise).

Attached is a newer patch.

I didn't reported this upstream, cause i do not think this would be suitable for other distro too,
since extramodules is an Arch convention.
Btw, now that patch is less invasive, i'll send this upstream.
