dkms is: a) automagical b) build on install c) not as simple all of the above approaches we discussed and rejected. The discussions were iirc on the developer ml, so they're not available. I think the still preferred, and simpler method is to implement multiple packages in one PKGBUILD, which also has other benefits. We held that off for pacman3... so I suppose it's time to revisit. I might take a look at implementing this after I get Arch back on my laptop. I also mentioned DKMS last time we visited this topic, and AndyRTR who has dealt with it under mandriva (i think) and said it wasnt suitable.
