Jarek, It can work pretty much like magic as long as the module is compatible with the new kernel and the source is installed. On a reboot, it can be instructed to build the module. I'm not sure how critical things (like a FibreChannel driver that hosts the root partition) work. You could probably use dkms to build the module for the rpm build, but I don't think it would be that helpful. I think having a good spec file would be more valuable. I think the proposed method should be more reliable, it just requires building a slew of module rpms for each kernel upgrade. --Shane > [log in to unmask] wrote: > > Yes, indeed: I've seen this one too. > > Looks quite interesting: there was even some discussion > about it among people packaging kernel modules. > > Definitely the strong point is the automation of > module rebuilding process: but it does not give the automation > of updates magic (I think ...) > > Could dkms be used to build kernel-module-<foo>-<kversion> > packages by any chance ? > > Jarek > __ > ------------------------------------------------------- > _ Jaroslaw_Polok ___________________ CERN - IT/ADC/LE _ > _ http://home.cern.ch/~jpolok ___ tel_+41_22_767_1834 _ > _____________________________________ +41_78_792_0795 _ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shane Canon voice: 510-486-6981 PSDF Project Lead fax: 510-486-7520 National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center 1 Cyclotron Road Mailstop 943-256 Berkeley, CA 94720 [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
