You can find rpms for the headers at yum.qubes-os.org Look at (e.g) r3.2/current/dom0/fc23/rpm and you'll see kernel-devel packages to suit. Poke about and you'll find most everything you need. The obvious way to keep current is to use dkms which will automatically rebuild modules with a kernel upgrade. You will, of course, need to ensure that you upgrade the kernel devel package too. Otherwise you need to manually rebuild the module on an upgrade. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
