We introduced a pve-headers meta-package which always pulls in the latest pve-headers-XX package (so if you are using the kernel dependend on by proxmox-ve , pve-headers will always depend on the appropriate pve-headers-XX package). This is the strongest dependency we can offer short of installing the headers together with every kernel, which we don't want to do ;) While this eases the pain of using DKMS somewhat, keep in mind that any modules you install and use via DKMS are neither tested nor supported by us - usually it's only a question of time until something breaks. I strongly recommend having some kind of test environment that closely mimics your actual systems in order to catch ABI breakage and other incompatibilities with the module sources before you have a half-broken installation on your production systems. This is a good idea in general, but DKMS with a moving kernel target is especially prone to breaking in my experience (I say this with my "running Debian Sid on personal machines" hat on :P). If you need specific (Open Source ;)) kernel modules or newer upstream versions that provide a clear benefit, feel free to recommend them for inclusion into pve-kernel (either here on pve-devel or via a bug report on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com). Last but not least, for one-time testing you can just manually compile module sources without DKMS (you still need to kernel headers for your kernel and the build tools). > Or you can just wait for next PVE kernel release.
