Hi, I would like to bring coda into EPEL. This is the userspace support necessary to run the Coda distributed filesystem. All the necessary kernel support is upstream and has been for years. There is already a Fedora package, and since the Fedora kernels build the coda module, all is well.
The EL kernels do not build the coda module. I have a bug open for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518530 But in the mean time, I wonder if it is possible to use DKMS to build the module from the EL kernel source. The code is in there, it is simply disabled. The coda module is a simple, clean filesystem module. DKMS is in EPEL already. It is made exactly for this purpose, building modules that are in some kernel tree. It avoids building modules if your system already has them (if the kernel is updated, for example). Is there anything sufficiently wrong with doing this? Thanks, Adam
