Title:
Permit to build for older kernel
Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hello,
In our derivative we provided a patched Ubuntu kernel, today for lucid
we are at version 2.6.32-47-eole.
To avoid overpatching the kernel for drivers, we provides DKMS
packages, but we have an issue with detection of newest kernel
version.
If the current system is running 2.6.32-47-generic (from CD
installation for example), when we install our 2.6.32-47-eole and its
headers, the DKMS package is built and installed only for the
-generic.
The work around is to let dkms_autoinstaller do the job: 1) install
the DKMS module, then install the kernel headers, installing both in
the same "apt-get install" invocation fails.
I made a patch to add an option to build the DKMS modules for all
installed kernels.
Regards.
