dh_dkms(1)
NAME
dh_dkms - correctly handle DKMS usage by a kernel module package
SYNOPSIS
dh_dkms [debhelper options] [-l] [-V[version]] [-- file]
DESCRIPTION
dh_dkms is a debhelper program that is responsible for correctly
setting postinst, postrm and dependencies in kernel module packages
using DKMS.
If a file named debian/package.dkms exists, then different actions are
performed, depending on its contents.
FILES
- debian/package.dkms
debian/dkms - It can be a proper configuration file, and in this case it would be installed in the proper directory as dkms.conf.
- It can also point to another file (this should be used when the
configuration is provided by upstream), and in this case that file will be installed as dkms.conf in the proper directory. - This file can only miss if a filename is provided when calling
dh_dkms.
OPTIONS
- -l, --legacy
- Add code to also support DKMS versions < 2.1.0.0.
- -V, -V version
- Set "PACKAGE_VERSION" in dkms.conf to the given version or, if none is given, default to the upstream version of the current package.
- -- file
- Don't look for debian/package.dkms or debian/dkms, but install file as dkms.conf.
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
