Ah yes. It seems I have been down this rabbit-hole before: https://github.com/Open-CAS/open-cas-linux/discussions/1605 What I don't like about Open-CAS is the complete lack of integration with the distribution and it being updated automatically with every distro kernel package update. I don't want every distro kernel update to be a half a day of building out-of-distro software. And remembering to do it with every kernel update. The more effort you make installing updates, the more you put them off until you know you have the time to do all of the ancillary work of doing the update and that's just bad for security. And even if you do somehow automate all of that (maybe with DKMS or somesuch) then there is the need for a whole host of @devel packages on every machine, bla bla bla. Just very messy. Cheers, b.
