A dkms deb is a common representation of a DKMS package that can be distributed across multiple machines.
|
||
|
|
After you have a functional DKMS package, you can follow these steps to build a DKMS deb.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Start out by putting together a tree in /usr/src/PACKAGE-VERSION. For our example, we are going to use
|
||
|
|
the PACKAGE lirc and VERSION 0.8.3~pre1. Create a dkms.conf per the recommendations in the DKMS guide.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) "Add" the package to the dkms tree system:
|
||
|
|
dkms add -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) "Build" the binary modules for the current kernel:
|
||
|
|
dkms build -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) Make the deb and/or dsc for the package:
|
||
|
|
dkms mkdeb -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1
|
||
|
|
dkms mkdsc -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The end result will be a deb and/or dsc in /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/deb or /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/dsc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
If you would prefer not to contaminate your system with the changes from building these debs, you should
|
||
|
|
create a framework.conf that contains these variables (adjust for your use case):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
source_tree="/path/to/source/tree"
|
||
|
|
dkms_tree="/path/to/dkms/tree"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will then call DKMS with an extra variable, '--dkmsframework'. Here is an example of how this would work
|
||
|
|
using the same lirc example above:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dkms add -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --dkmsframework framework.conf
|
||
|
|
dkms build -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --dkmsframework framework.conf
|
||
|
|
dkms mkdeb -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --dkmsframework framework.conf
|
||
|
|
dkms mkdsc -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --dkmsframework framework.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The end result will be both a debian binary package and a debian source package that you can use.
