A KMP built against the 11.2 GA kernel will for instance still work with the current update kernel.
If I make a kernel driver package, can I trigger it getting rebuilt automatically when a kernel update is released? Without me having to trigger anything by hand?
Often, KMPs still work across a minor kernel update, by means of the weak-modules mechanism.
I thought the openSUSE kernel was compiled to require precise version matching when loading modules. Is this not the case?
Section 4.6 in the link I referenced implies that this is possible. Would it happen automatically if I build against openSUSE:11.2:Update and a kernel update is released?
It should.

My mistake. The macro exists on openSUSE11.2 and newer. Not openSUE 11.1 and earlier. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
