I think that's a packaging issue, the declaration was missing in dkms.conf.in. I'll put out an update soon.

Any chance to add support for the Xyphro USB GPIB device? It is added in 4.3.7, and works if built manually from source, but don't seem like the module is built from this package.

Otherwise, thanks for the lovely package. Used it for a long time with my old PCI card without issues!

I've also been having issues updating, but I'm not sure how to go about it. This is the error log for the MakeFile, any idea's? https://pastebin.com/gkx5qwu1

The package seems to build OK here in a clean chroot; are you sure you cleaned any previous builds? That being said some of the modules fail to build but I'm still investigating. It's possible that something broke in recent kernel releases.

This package seems to have an issue with the patch that's being applied to the Makefile. I keep hitting the same error, but it's not clear to me what the problem is.

can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I created linux-gpib-git. Since upstream actually did incorporate updates/ fixes in the -git repository. (This also adds my suggestions as well.)

dreieck commented on 2025-04-29 15:06 (UTC)

Other suggestion:

Add optdepends=("linux-gpib-firmware: For firmware of some devices.)

dreieck commented on 2025-04-29 10:42 (UTC)

Suggestion:

Can you split the DKMS kernel driver (and maybe associated udev rules) and the userspace utilities into separate packages?

So that the one can be installed without the other -- e.g. when someone decides to compile the module by other means/ even patch it into the kernel?

Regards!

Ahoj,

the license identifier needs to be updated to conform to SPDX syntax: 

linux-gpib-dkms E: GPL is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.

Regards and thanks for this package!

Apparently which is only member of base-devel, not base so it needs be an explicit dependency. Oh well, I'll update it again shortly.
