Re: News: prebuilt kernel modules

Good.

I will be getting the process in place to allow us to easily accept patches
upstream.  I do want to ensure that the we make life easier for downstream
packagers...

As Michel implied, if there are any sensible tweaks that we would like to do
to our build, we are more than interested in downstream suggestions...

Regards...  Matthew

No; I had it working with m-a, but I didn't like the zillions of logs it
leaves around so I wrote a small script (that I'm attaching). It's a quick
hack really, but it Works For Me and besides it doesn't require anything
strange except fakeroot and the kernel-headers packages you want to build
against. When I have confirmation that the packages work fine, I'll see if
there are improvements to be made, but I don't think so.

No, I didn't need to do any changes besides the patches I already apply to
my packages.
