The point of DKMS as I understand it is that it's not really for the end-user, although they can of course use it. Providers of modules can ship DKMS-aware packages, and then the right thing happens on both kernel updates and on module source updates. I've been shipping an openafs-modules-dkms package since DKMS entered the archive and love it. It's far more convenient than module-assistant, and I hope all of the other out-of-source kernel module maintainers adopt it as well. I provide both that and a traditional openafs-modules-source for those who want to use module-assistant or kernel-package. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
