This is a great package, but can it specify the required dependencies please: dkms and linux-headers?

I tried to install this package, but the following error was shown:
Is there a missing dependency or am I missing a package?

FYI: this will not compile with recent kernels due to kernel commit fc7a6209d5710618eb4f72a77cd81b8d694ecf89 (a trivial callback signature change). A merge request request is currently pending upstream which will bump the version too, but the fix is easy to apply in the meantime if needed: https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux/-/merge_requests/8?commit_id=bf9d79852cbd0aa5c2e288ce51b8280f74a1f5d2

Just an FYI: I had to add myself to the i2c group and copy over the ddcci udev rules to get this working on startup

Well, it depends on situation. There is no hang at boot now, I confirm, but
ddcci_backlight
still can't detect external (HDMI) monitor duringsddm.service
startup. So, in my use case (laptop with intel's video and external HDMI monitor) I still need systemd unit withBefore=sddm.service

fyi once the package is updated to 0.4 Andrej.Korshikov workaround will no longer be needed,
ddcci_backlight
can be loaded from/etc/modules-load.d/

Andrej.Korshikov you are right. So I am going to correct myself: you don't need this dkms if you want to control backlight only on one screen :-).

Hi jiri.one, thanks for the info. From that reddit thread,
so
For example, my brightness values usually are 65 for laptop screen and 40 for external monitor. As far as I understand I can't independently manage brightness values for different monitors without this dkms. I would be glad if I'm wrong.
And, without this dkms there is no backlight device in
/sys/class/backlight
for my external monitor.jiri.one commented on 2021-03-30 10:38 (UTC) (edited on 2021-03-30 10:40 (UTC) by jiri.one)
This dkms is no more needed, because now is powerdevil compiled with
But still is needed to have i2c_dev loaded before sddm, so the systemd unit, which I am using is:

Andrej.Korshikov thanks a lot for your comment, it really helped me.

@Chrissss What if you have a linux-lts kernel?
dkms
already has an optional dependency on all the kernels in the repository.Chrissss commented on 2019-12-26 00:15 (UTC)
I think the linux-headers should be a dependecy. Without them I get the following error, when installing the PKGBUILD:
After running pacman -S linux-headers the module gets built and installed successfully.
