Guadenz,

Thank you very much for these submissions.  They look great and I've merged them onto the master tree.  I'm very behind in lots of DKMS related items I'd like to attempt to catch upon before making another release, so hopefully soonish I will.

Thanks,

Hi Mario

I made some improvements and bug fixes for DKMS. They are based on the master branch of the git repository at linux.dell.com.

There are two smallish fixes I found along the way while writing my code. First is a fix to the code that removes the build directory after building the module and the second is a fix for a wrong check which resulted in an error message from sed.

The improvements are two new configuration settings for framework.conf.
The first allows you to choose to use symlinks instead of copying modules to /lib/modules and the second allows you to always build for all kernels with the common postinst script. See the commit messages for more details.

Please pull my changes from git://github.com/imedias/dkms. If you prefer I can also send you patches or provide individual branches for the fixes and improvements.

I would be very glad if you could merge my commits into your repository and release a new version of DKMS for downstream distributions. I'm also willing to fix any problems you spot in my commits. I did quite extensive testing on Debian systems.

Gaudenz
