[Impact]
to have a way for this case
"user need to force install the dkms, but also would like to retire that dkms
once kernel fixes the issue."
- upstream patch : https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/98
[Test case]
1. install the dkms package which already patched
2. install a DKMS which has file content "{dkms name}_version-override" under
/usr/share/dkms/modules_to_force_install/
- the installation should ignore module version checking.
3. update that installed DKMS to a new one which added OBSOLETE_BY in
dkms.conf
- on the kernel which version lower than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should be
installed.
- on the kernel which version higher than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should NOT
be installed.
[Regression potential]
medium as it touched the version sanity. This change already there in
upstream.
