Debian/Ubuntu package #3

Is it possible to create a package for ubuntu in order to avoid install build-essential? I'm running a server and only need a compiler for this driver. I can colaborate with a github action if that helps.

BTW, I'm running on a TS-453d on Ubuntu 22.04 and after install the driver

Now I need a way to set the values, but thats another story... Thanks for this great code!

Unfortunately drivers need to be recompiled for each version of the kernel. There's no such thing as a generic driver package for Ubuntu or Debian. It would be a different package for every single different kernel version that Ubuntu or Debian use. My recommendation would be to create a VM of the server environment that runs the same OS and kernel version and compile it there. Then simply move the files over to the production server.

I see, thanks for clarification. I guess the final solution would be include to it in kernel tree, not sure if licenses are ok. Thanks!
