Idea #11943: DKMS for virtualization drivers

Written by snadrus the 7 Aug 08 at 16:03. Category: Installation. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Virtualbox and VMWare need kernel drivers, so we ship a new one with each kernel. This saves developer's time!

Using Dynamic Kernel Module Source (DKMS) the source and DKMS setup would be in the repos and we can stop maintaining a driver package for each kernel version.
