I built some debian packages of DKMS. It's my first time building
debs, so give it a try and be nice.
Some things I noted:
* Debian doesn't leave a prebuilt kernel tree sitting around. This
means you'll have to manually install kernel-source-${version} and
then untar it in /usr/src/. This also means that DKMS is going to do
make mrproper in the prepare and clean steps.
* The config file is available in /boot/config-$version-arch.
* /lib/modules/*/source is a dangling symlink to nowhere useful
# dkms add -m dell_rbu -v 0.8
# dkms build -m dell_rbu -v 0.8 \
--kernelsourcedir=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 \
--config=/boot/config-2.6.8-2-686
# dkms install -m dell_rbu -v 0.8
worked for me on a Sarge i686 install.
TODO:
- figure out what mkdeb (akin to mkrpm) would look like
