Hey!

kmod 15 is out.

2 important fixes: one to parse the kernel command line correctly when
there are boolean values and another to static-nodes tool not fail if
modules.devname isn't present (for example inside containers)

The kmod tool (an thus modprobe, lsmod, depmod and all compat tools)
links statically to libkmod now. In kmod 14 we disabled building the
static library because it was causing problems to some projects.
Linking our tool statically to the library is kind of an workaround
for people doing initrd needing their tools to be statically linked.

As usual, shortlog is below.

Cheers
Lucas De Marchi
