Oh, huh, I hadn't noticed that. Thanks for the pointer! I'll have to play with that; I'd only previously seen the tarball distribution and installation mechanism. The work of providing both the -dkms and the traditional -source package is fairly trivial and not much of a drain on the packager's time once the original -source rules have been written. I'm doing it right now for multiple packages. But writing the original -source package rules file is arcane and very under-documented, so this is potentially a long-term improvement. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
