[Bug 288743] Re: Use dkms for openafs-modules

2009-03-31 Thread Anders Kaseorg
Now that openafs 1.4.8.dfsg1-3, which includes all of the necessary changes, is in Jaunty, only the control file entry for the new openafs- modules-dkms binary package needs to be uncommented. (It is commented in Debian because the Debian dkms package is still in the NEW queue.) Therefore, I

openafs 1.4.8.dfsg1-2, which was just synced from Debian, contains an implementation of DKMS support that is commented out (because Debian does not yet have a dkms package). I have worked with the Debian maintainer to resolve some bugs in this implementation. These fixes have been committed to

Maybe some interest, I have well tested openafs packages (1.4.8 + dfsg) with dkms support in my ppa. Work fine, but the compilation (so an upgrade) needs some time. Maybe it's possible to build a static library of some kernel version independent code and only build the glue-code by dkms? Has

I'd say that the benefit of not having to manually recompile the kernel outweighs having to wait during dkms rebuild at bootup. Even more since a manual rebuild will take exactly the same amount of time PLUS the time I need to spend initiating the rebuild (and wondering about why afs suddenly

This should not be a problem as far as I see. Someone who knows how the OpenAFS module is built could easily write the necessary dkms.conf file (using an existing file as template,e.g. from the nvidia or virtualbox modules). I've so far always used module-assistant and don't know how to build

I managed to get this working (somewhat) with dkms, but it needs to be moulded into a package (openafs-modules-dkms or so). I have no experience with creating deb packages. 1. Dkms expects to find the source code in /usr/src/module-version/ If you have openafs-modules-source installed, the
