module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Setup

Setup Requirements

If you wish to use the dkms::kernel_module defined type, you must first put your source in /usr/src/<kmod-name>-<kmod-version>/.

Beginning with dkms

Modern linux distros have hooks for DKMS to automatically build a module when a new kernel is installed. Odds are for most users all you need is:

include dkms

Usage

There is a parameter provided to easily create any kmod entries you need:

class { 'dkms':
  kernel_modules => {
    'kmod_name' => {
      'kmod_version' => 'ver string',
      'ensure' => 'installed',
      'on_kernel' => 'ALL',
    }
  }
}

Review the documentation on the dkms::kernel_module defined type for more information.

Limitations

If you wish to use the dkms::kernel_module defined type, you must first put your source in /usr/src/<kmod-name>-<kmod-version>/.

The dkms::kernel_module defined type does not support tar or alternate source modes for adding modules.

Development

See the repo defined in metadata.json.
