Description:
DKMS allows to add/install modules with external source tree by using the add or install command with a /path/to/module/source/tree argument. A regression introduced with version 3.0.0 breaks this functionality. Steps to reproduce: (using a post 3.0.0 dkms) # dkms install /work/LookingGlass/module Error! Arguments <module> and <module-version> are not specified. Usage: install <module>/<module-version> or install -m <module>/<module-version> or install -m <module> -v <module-version> Solution: A fix was merged into dkms (see https://github.com/dell/dkms/commit/f5051d0543aaf933874ae512f5624ac1fd95056d). Unfortunately, there's no upstream stable release following this for now so this can not be flagged outdated. It would be great if the Arch package maintainer would push a new release as this is a very common scenario of DKMS and many projects are now broken. |
