dkms will allow the kernel modules to be automagically recompiled when a new kernel is installed, which is incredibly handy.
Right now, there's a many step process required (get the source, compile the source, install the modules) every time the kernel is upgraded. Greek Ordono has already done all the work in DKMS-ifying open-vm-tools. His packaging is linked to from the bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/277556 . I have tested his packaging on 4 servers on two versions of VMWare, and it works great. I can't seem to figure out how to get someone to review the changes, or accept them. Can a MOTU help? Also, this package should be in universe, not multiverse. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397536 Thanks! ~Craig -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
