If openSUSE (note spelling) were to include DKMS capability, every user of out-of-tree modules would need the complete kernel development package.
So where is the problem? This is already the case with nVidia packages that build KMP on end user system (they do not ship binary modules).
If you are not using the standard kernel packages, then you can always install the RPM from Oracle. That has DKMS capability.
Exactly. But there is no (in repo) DKMS to actually make use of this capability.
I'm sure you have the capability to solve all the API changes that happen with new kernels, and the skill to apply the necessary patches.
Do you imply that new kernel version in Tumbleweed will not be published until all out of tree modules are fixed to build against it?
BTW, it took me the better part of 3 days last week to fix the incompatibilities that arose when the X server version was changed from 1.18.x to 1.19.0. To complicate matters, the build has to work with 1.18.3, 1.18.4, and 1.19.0.
I appreciate your efforts but it is not related to DKMS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
