I am interested in packaging blcr for fedora/redhat. Since we last discussed this, there have been some changes. Primarily, the main fedora/redhat repo bans kmods. Instead, the kmods are packaged to the livna repository. They have written some nice docs on this: http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods1 http://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2 Previously, I have tried to build using dkms. This has the advantage of automatically rebuilding when a new kernel is installed. It seems that there is not widespread adoption of this, mainly because some environments might not have needed build tools (e.g., embedded systems, compute clusters). I haven't yet studied the above docs, but I just wanted to get some feedback from this list as to whether this looks like a good path to proceed on.
