Using DKMS
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
To install:
|
||||
|
||||
* sudo make dkms
|
||||
|
||||
To remove:
|
||||
|
||||
* sudo make dkms_clean
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
* The module does not provide a real version number, so `git describe --long`
|
||||
is used to create one. This means that anything that changes the git state
|
||||
will change the version. `make dkms_clean` should be run before making a
|
||||
commit or an update with `git pull` as the Makefile is currently unable to
|
||||
track the last installed version to replace it. If this doesn't happen, the
|
||||
old version will need to be manually removed from dkms, before installing
|
||||
the updated module.
|
||||
Something like `dkms remove -m it87 -v <old version> --all`, followed by
|
||||
`rm -rf /usr/src/it87-<old version>`, should do.
|
||||
`dkms status it87` can be used to list the installed versions.
