So do Perl and Python and PHP and Ruby and various other complex
subsystems, and yet we manage to work with those as well, mainly by
having proper packaging guidelines, making the assumption that users
will simply use rpm or yum to install things and by offering little or
no help to them when they don't.
Much like the fact that we have proper packaging guidelines for kernel
modules, assume that users will simply use rpm or yum to install them
and offer little or no help to them if they want to do otherwise?
So I'm a bit confused; are you saying that somehow dkms does not
permit us to do the same thing?
The same thing as which of the above?
