Hello,
Over on the rtl8192se package[1], we have been discussing how to best support DKMS in packaging (at the AUR level), and I would like to ask for wider and more experienced comments. I have put my thoughts here and in more detail on my personal Arch wiki page[2].
Quick problem, what happens when the kernel version updates? For example modules are currently in /lib/modules/2.6.38-Arch/kernel/* (from [testing]) but when 2.6.39 comes out the location changes, and the package needs to be reinstalled in any case.
Jason's solution just suits for the version changes form 2.6.38.* to 2.6.38.*,the location of the driver doesn't need to be relocated.But if the major version has changed for example from 2.6.38 to 2.6.39,the PGBGUILD should be re-released to place the driver in the new place.Alternatively,may be do some hack to the drivers pacman db files?
