Re: [OE-core] The state of DKMS in the Yocto community

Converging threads. Thanks all for the feedback. It sounds like there's no appetite for a DKMS recipe, and I agree with the rationale for rejection. I'll motion to have NI's DKMS recipe migrated to our meta-nilrt layer and independently maintained until such a time as we can deprecate it.

Hello Alex, with DKMS, do you mean cross-compiling out-of-kernel modules on the build machine (that runs the Yocto/OpenEmbedded driven build)? Or do you mean provisioning the target with enough tools to allow compiling out-of-kernel modules there from source? In the first case, yes, I can share

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
