Arch Linux User Repository

After building and installing the ktap-git package, I found that the kernel module dependencies had not been updated. I fixed this by changing the ktap-git.install script like so:

post_install () {
depmod
}

post_upgrade() {
post_install
}

I noticed that pacman's DKMS hook gets triggered whenever I install ktap-git package. Perhaps it's an idea to provide a DKMS configuration for the ktapvm kernel module, this would take care of updating module dependencies as well as rebuilding on kernel package upgrades.

I get the following error building this package:

==> ERROR: source should be an array
The build failed.

Placing parentheses around the source let the build proceed, although I hit another error:
