Package: dkms Version: 3.0.3-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream If dkms applies patches (PATCH=(...) in dkms.conf), the messages go to stdout/stderr, while the should probably go to make.log instead.
IMO the patching messages add a lot of noise to the dkms output. >From an autopkgtest trying to build a kernel module (the '^I:.*' messages are >from /usr/lib/dkms/dkms-autopkgtest, all others from dkms): I: Trying to build nvidia-legacy-390xx/390.147 for 5.17.0-trunk-armmp-lpae applying patch 0001-backport-error-on-unknown-conftests.patch...patching file conftest.sh patching file nvidia/nvidia.Kbuild applying patch do-div-cast.patch...patching file nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset-linux.c applying patch kernel-5.7.0-set-memory-array.patch...patching file conftest.sh applying patch 0006-backport-pde_data-changes-from-470.103.01.patch...patching file common/inc/nv-procfs.h patching file conftest.sh patching file nvidia/nvidia.Kbuild applying patch bashisms.patch...patching file conftest.sh applying patch use-kbuild-compiler.patch...patching file Makefile applying patch use-kbuild-flags.patch...patching file Kbuild patching file nvidia/nvidia.Kbuild patching file Makefile patching file nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset.Kbuild applying patch use-kbuild-gcc-plugins.patch...patching file Kbuild applying patch conftest-verbose.patch...patching file Kbuild applying patch cc_version_check-gcc5.patch...patching file conftest.sh applying patch nvidia-use-ARCH.o_binary.patch...patching file nvidia/nvidia.Kbuild applying patch nvidia-modeset-use-ARCH.o_binary.patch...patching file nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset.Kbuild applying patch include-swiotlb-header-on-arm.patch...patching file common/inc/nv-linux.h applying patch ignore_xen_on_arm.patch...patching file common/inc/nv-linux.h patching file conftest.sh applying patch arm-outer-sync.patch...patching file common/inc/nv-linux.h patching file nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-linux.c applying patch nvidia-drm-arm-cflags.patch...patching file conftest.sh Building module: cleaning build area.... unset ARCH; env NV_VERBOSE=1 make -j16 modules KERNEL_UNAME=5.17.0-trunk-armmp-lpae............................................ cleaning build area.... nvidia-legacy-390xx.ko: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - No original module exists within this kernel - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/5.17.0-trunk-armmp-lpae/updates/dkms/ nvidia-legacy-390xx-modeset.ko: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - No original module exists within this kernel - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/5.17.0-trunk-armmp-lpae/updates/dkms/ nvidia-legacy-390xx-drm.ko: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - No original module exists within this kernel - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/5.17.0-trunk-armmp-lpae/updates/dkms/ depmod...
