Once upon a time, Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs(a)math.uh.edu> said:
Only if you use DKMS as is. But if you take it as a starting point
(i.e. what Mr. Rugolsky suggested) and make its output not an
installed module but a kernel-module-whatever RPM then end users
wouldn't need the development packages.
Someone can build and distribute kernel module RPMs today; they don't
need DKMS for that. DKMS is a way for someone to distribute source so
that users don't have to care that they updated to a new kernel. If
they still have to download an RPM for the updated module, then nothing
has changed.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
