Re: [aur-general] kernel updates render package obsolete

So I guess my questions are: 1) Is there some way around the module becoming outdated with each and every kernel update? and if not

You only have to rebuild with major updates (which happen every 3 months).

2) For myself, I can just keep the source code on my drive and rebuild it whenever this happens - but is there some way of altering the PKGBUILD to do the same? 3) Any other way around the issue apart from quickly updating the package whenever there's a kernel upgrade?

All you can do is prevent anyone from accidently updating: depends=('kernel26>=2.6.27' 'kernel26<2.6.28') Once a major update occurs, pacman will refuse to update the kernel26 package unless you -Ud a newer one (with correct depends) first.
