Now that dkms is in Extras... and fc4 has kernel modules in Core. How about for fc5 we put dkms in Core and have the kernel modules in Core use dkms to alleviate some of the sync issues we saw this time around in rawhide. I know the kernel module maintainer in Core is trying hard to keep on the ball about keeping up with the kernel builds, and I have no doubts that kernel module packages in Core will be made available asap after an update kernel is released... but i don't think thats always going to be simultaneous. dkms could really help out and provide the client side stopgap during the hours when a critical kernel update comes out and a new set of clustering kernel module packages are built and available for updating. This also sets up the groundwork for providing useful kernel modules in Extras. I fully expect future kernel modules in Extras to lag a kernel update by a day or two, and having dkms in Core for Extras packagers to rely on to provide a client side module rebuild in the lagtime would be useful. And.. I'm willing to actually help test and implement this with regard to the core kernel module packages. -jef"is really just hoping for a heated technical debate"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
