And that's bad ^w^w can be problematic for the same reasons why installing CPAN-Modules or other Software without using rpm. > Or do you suggest that DKMS generate and install a RPM package when new > modules are compiled? The latter, which is possible afaik dkms. BTW, I'm still interested in a kind of "kmod and dkms" merger, do have both functionalities under one hood. But I still can't find a way to make that work with maintaining only *one* spec-file/buildpath. I'd appreciate it if someone could enlighten me if that's possible somehow.
