Hi, Regarding kernel modules, as many, I got tired of : 1) Packaging them as binary rpms, tracking new kernels to release new packages (it's almost impossible to track Rawhide btw). 2) Endless discussions about what packaging method is the best, upgrade paths, ugliness of versions inside names, common vs. kernel specific bits etc. etc.
After dealing with various fedora systems where someone gets a kernel update and things not working because an extra drvier wasnt ready.. I am all for the dkms solution as a system administrator. Yes it takes more stuff on a client system, but for my workloads.. it has worked out a better solution for my fedora and enterprise systems. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
