dkms-2.0.5.ebuild
I would recommend the category sys-kernel.
any updates on this? This would potentially be pretty handy to have. - S="${WORKDIR}/${P}" is superfluous
- fix the ebuild header
- S="${WORKDIR}/${P}" is superfluous
- fix the ebuild header¹ and reopen

dkms 2.0.9 ebuild
Removed specification of "S" var, fixed header, updated version to latest available. Verified that it installs correctly.
Reopening per developer feedback. bump Created attachment 154469 [details]

Is this still maintained? Fetching the source fails. (In reply to comment #9) > Is this still maintained? Fetching the source fails. > Yes. See http://linux.dell.com/dkms/ This is needed for bug #272100 and possibly for others too. How is the progress on this bug going? I'm seeing recommendation to use DKMS from BTRFS project at <https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories>. Is there something incompatible between DKMS and Gentoo regarding the theories of source management? Is this another jealousy thing from some parochial Gentoo lords? Is DKMS some arcane management tool that's simply not in widespread use? Is DKMS clunky? Is it something which requires a lot of management from module developers, or from distribution maintainers? Is there some block for this request? There is 2.2 version already. (In reply to Heather from comment #13) > Is there some block for this request? There is 2.2 version already. This package has no maintainer so this bug may go unnoticed for a long time. Gentoo has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in maintaining orphaned packages.

sys-kernel/dkms-2.8.1.ebuild
Bumped to new version. May be I push it into GURU project repository with some extra work.
Ebuild added to dev branch of GURU. I would like to see this package added as well, as its good to have for virtualbox-guest-additions Nice Post. <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/curseremoval/how-to-remove-hex">how to break a hex</a> The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=1b67dc96dc6cfd8bae66f406075fdf33691b591f commit 1b67dc96dc6cfd8bae66f406075fdf33691b591f Author: Andrew Ammerlaan <andrewammerlaan@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2023-09-24 13:37:25 +0000 Commit: Andrew Ammerlaan <andrewammerlaan@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2023-09-24 13:40:46 +0000 sys-kernel/dkms: new package, add 3.0.12 The usefulness of dkms for gentoo is arguably limited. But this is in several overlays now already. I personally need it for ::natinst so I have to maintain this anyway. Might as well maintain it here to avoid duplicate work in other overlays. With this release it now properly works with kernel-install and therefore should now work properly with our eclasses and manually configured kernels.
