Hey List,
I'm trying to work out the mysterious state of DKMS in OE-Core.
Our (NI) OE distributions rely heavily on DKMS to (un)install our
ecosystem of kernel drivers at runtime across our product lines. To
facilitate that, we authored a dkms_2.4.0.bb recipe [1] back in 2017,
which we have carried out-of-stream since.
We tried to upstream it, and the patched rev'ed a couple of times [2];
but it seems to have never made it into a yocto release.
Though some other recipes mention DKMS passingly, I don't see anywhere
that OE-Core officially supports it. Nor does my googling reveal anyone
else who uses DKMS. I find that a little hard to believe, though I
understand that it's probably relatively rare in the embedded space.
@all
So does anyone else on the list use DKMS in their yocto distribution?
Are you maintaining a DKMS recipe out-of-stream as well?
@maintainers
If NI upgraded our DKMS recipe to a more recent version than 2.4.0 and
submitted it again to OE-Core, would you accept it? If not, we will move
it to our own meta layer and accept that we are unique in this regard.
