Well maybe a dkms port to 'extras' wouldn't be asking too much?
It's in EPEL, if we can leverage off that...

It really is important to have the dkms kmod and dkms located in the same repo for dependancy reasons.
Another problem with dkms kmods is the development requirements, which can be troublesome in some deployments. That reminds me to update the dkms module install dependencies to include the development environment.
It might be possible to have a dkms kmod though alongside a kabi tracking kmod, dkms will supercede the kabi module, and put it back when/if the dkms module is removed.

inspite of it being interesting, you *do* still have the wrong list for this conversation.

I would also expect it to be so. I only mentioned EPEL in the sense that there is a spec and src that is known to work...

I see the dkms option in iet spec, and will add that as another test element.

Seems like a reasonable thing to try.
