[Bug 497149] Re: Packages using DKMS should make use of /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst

 

I've merged in Anders' patch, it will be in the next DKMS release.
We'll also be seeing support for "dh --with-dkms" for dh7 packages from
a few commits from Debian in that release.  Packages will be free to use
either way to support DKMS.

** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

Bug description:
Packages in Debian & Ubuntu that are using their own postinstall script should remove the logic from there and instead use /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst .  This script contains sufficient logic to figure out the correct kernels to build for and accounts for allowing builds on a buildd (if a package is ever included in a live media build).

The following sample template is sufficient to use instead:
