DKMS usage for MDIS kernel modules #308

Open dpfeuffer opened 1 year ago

dpfeuffer commented 1 year ago

dkms is a framework which allows kernel modules to be dynamically built for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion. see https://www.mankier.com/8/dkms

Evaluate if/how to use dkms to automatically rebuild all MDIS kernel modules when a newer kernel was installed at the target.

See https://swdev-git1.dev.men.de/DFrisch/dkms-example (will be moved to general and maybe mirrored to git.duagon.com).

Info from Remko: Just had a short chat with Daniel, if Secure Boot would be enabled on a system, the system would sign the out-of-tree module automatically when installing via DKMS.

Because Secure Boot is a requirement for the next release, I think we should also declare DKMS support as a requirement with the info from Daniel.
