AUR packages should comply with guidelines. If there are kernel modules packaged, then they should be version agnostic.

That being said, would you accept patch for this package if I made one? Because I don't think it makes sense to create new package for this.

@micwoj92: for my usecase, dkms is just a new burden I don't want to learn. You are of course free to fork your own -dkms version.

Why are you opposed to using dkms? By using it, it would automatically install for all installed kernels and recompile on kernel upgrades.

@micwoj92: to build I need to access the headers of the current running kernel. I'm open to any sane suggestion that does not involve dkms. Otherwise it stays the way it is now.

This package is broken in current state and doesn't follow guidelines. For example right now I boot using linux-lts kernel. For me the module lands in /usr/lib/modules/6.6.54-1-lts/ directory. linux and linux-headers are unneeded for people that run different kernels. Also in current state this doesn't work for people that have multiple kernels installed.

@micwoj92: No, I'm not interested in pulling in dkms.

Please remove linux-headers from makedeps, these kernel modules should be remate to a dkms package.
