Hi there.

I need dkms to compile a driver. (aziokdb
https://bitbucket.org/Swoogan/aziokbd).

Any way, I cant find the package to do that :S

I tryed with sys-kernel/dkms and @module-rebuild, none exsists

Someone can tell me what package I need to install? Thx

Hi,

Why do you want DKMS whereas you already compile your own kernel?

None. Just use the Manual Install instructions.

Because I have a module that is outside the kernel tree:

See this
http://swoogan.blogspot.com.ar/2014/09/azio-l70-keyboard-linux-driver.html

Is the above, but with some modifications.

It looks like DKMS failed to find a maintainer 10 years ago. 

• https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-579971-view-previous.html <https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-579971-view-previous.html>
• https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100754 <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100754>

Could it have been rolled into another package since then?

You don't need DKMS for that, either re-emerge the module manually after
compiling a new kernel or run emerge @module-rebuild. If the module is
not in portage, manually reinstall it for each new kernel.

DKMS is for people that don't get involved in compiling kernels or
modules, it is for users of binary distros.

It is not in portage. It is a unique module. Edited by me in the source
code.

But how can I install the module without dkms?  usually I make this
automatically with dkms :S

Come on - the module has an install.sh script that installs it without
dkms. 

    $ cd /usr/src
    $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Swoogan/aziokbd
    $ ./install.sh

or instead of running their script just do:

    $ make install

DKMS is a means of hooking into the kernel-update process in binary
distros to automatically recompile external modules. As we compile our own
kernels (most of us?), compiling modules manually is not that big of an
issue (we control when the kernel update happens).

However, as it is more practical to have portage handle the rebuilds, here
is a quickly written ebuild for you.

Wow men. Thank you very much! Now it works. It was a very stupid problem. I
didn't know that the module could be installed without dksm :P jaja. I
always used to do ./install dkms.

Thanks for the ebuild! I will try to edit it to use my own sources (my
aziokdb is a litle edited, I changed some keys)

Finally I have my gentoo install complete :)

Bye! ;)

There's no need for that as it uses EAPI6. That means that if you put a
patch file in /etc/portage/patches/category/name, it will be
automatically applied after the sources are unpacked. That way, you don't
need to recreate a source tarball each times there's a new release, as
long as the patch still applies.

Greate men! Thx. I will read about. I want to learn how portage and
ebuild's works.
