I'd be happy to do so. One of the things I need DKMS to do in the near future is to generate the new kernel module packages http://www.kerneldrivers.org/RedHatKernelModulePackages which is almost as wasy as dropping a new kmp spec file template in and calling 'dkms mkkmp' on it. Then the init-time autobuilder (or better yet, a hook into /sbin/installkernel!!) could do the rebuild into srpm and binrpm and install that. I'm very open to changing the packaging format, but the killer feature is the autobuilder when weak modules or pre-built modules aren't present for "your kernel". In the past we've also gotten bit by rpm holding the database lock running %post, so a dkms driver rpm that discovers at install time in %post that it needs to build and install something can't actually generate and install an RPM because that would be recursive.
I solved that in the most ugly way in the past: at/cron Evil Evil Evil, but works. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
