-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Holger,
I know you really believe that, but this is exactly the point! It isn't true now and hasn't been for over three years. I know you can build a binary deb package using dkms like this: dkms mkdeb -m open-vm-tools -v 2012.05.21 \ --dkmsframework framework.conf --binaries-only And if you dump out the deb package it builds, you will find this control file in it: Package: open-vm-tools-dkms Version: 2012.05.21 Architecture: all Maintainer: Dynamic Kernel Modules Support Team <[email protected]> Installed-Size: 160 Depends: dkms (>= 1.95) Section: misc Priority: optional Description: open-vm-tools driver in DKMS format. This package depends in dkms, which further depends / recommends in gcc, make, and all the kernel headers and debian package build infrastructure. I don't want any dependencies except on the kernel image that we are building against. I want the *.ko files dropped into the proper /lib/module/* kernel tree without requiring some kind of postinst script that is causing the exact problem I'm trying to avoid! I seriously give up. I will write my own solution. Thanks. Tony - -- Anthony L.
