Package: dkms Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2 Severity: minor Hi,
man dkms says about dkms add: add [module/module-version] [/path/to/source-tree] [/path/to/tarball.tar] Adds a module/module-version combination to the tree for builds and installs. If module/module-version, -m module/module-version, or -m module -v version are passed as options, this command requires source in /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/ as well as a properly formatted dkms.conf file. If /path/to/source-tree is passed as an option, and source-tree contains a dkms.conf file, it will copy /path/to/source-tree to /usr/src/module-module-version. If /path/to/tarball.tar is passed, this command behaves like the ldtarball command. With that formating, I would expect to call it like this: dkms add module/0.123 /tmp/here/I/downloaded But actually, you have to call dkms add /tmp/here/I/downloaded And dkms will read the name and version from the dkms.conf. I think the manpage should read: add [module/module-version | /path/to/source-tree | /path/to/tarball.tar] instead.
