DKMS is a software framework that allows device driver source to exist outside of the kernel source tree. It is designed to dynamically rebuild a module whenever a new kernel version is installed, facilitating greater device compatibility with the Linux operating system.
As a software review, DKMS provides a Dynamic Kernel Module Support framework that allows device driver sources to reside outside of the kernel source tree. This is advantageous since it simplifies rebuilding modules when upgrading kernels. In other words, driver drops can be provided without having to wait for new kernel releases and have customers avoid the guessing game when recompiling modules for newer kernels.
Veteran Linux users can take advantage of a separate framework for driver drops, as it removes kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code. This release resolves minor bugs with the auto installation service in indicating failures. DKMS's flexibility is an essential tool for those looking to stay ahead of kernel updates or need to develop and distribute driver codes for Linux systems, making it the go-to software for proper kernel management.
