DKMS and build-scripts for various distributions

daringer commented 9 years ago

As the title suggests, DKMS support should be pretty easy to add as I saw, further this should be incorporated with build scripts ... I can add a PKGBUILD for ArchLinux (maybe add this to AUR then?), Debian and any others would also be a nice-to-have if anyone can contribute I'll add it...

ArchLinux: DKMS and PKGBUILD for "-git" based build looks good... systemd-support pending... mmh, also adding it to the AUR would be nice I guess....

A few suggestions:

I'm not sure if makedepending on linux-headers is a good idea, as it's specific to the standard arch linux kernel. All dkms packages I'm looking at just depend on dkms, which optionally depends on linux-headers and linux-lts-headers
Just using the commit hash as pkgver is kind of bad, as neither pacman nor the user can tell which version is newer. I'd suggest using version.release.commit_id like shown here.
Also, the package should only include files that are actually needed, no .git and all that stuff.

I hope that's helpful.

shouldn't push all the time ;) but thanks a lot, some time passed since I wrote my last PKGBUILD ... looks way better now...
