marked this verification as failed, because we get better solution to reach the target by https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/98
I'll change this bug title and content to match the new patch. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-disco ** Tags added: verification-failed-bionic verification-failed-disco ** Summary changed: - priority of OBSOLETE_BY should higher than "force" + ability to install dkms without version checking and retire it when kernel fixed issue ** Description changed: + refer to https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/98 + [Impact] - the priority of OBSOLETE_BY should higher than "force". #89 https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/89 + to have a way for this case + "user need to force install the dkms, but also would like to retire that dkms once kernel fixes the issue." + - upstream patch : https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/98 [Test case] - 1. install the dkms package which already patched (also can be found from my test ppa[1]) - 2. install a DKMS which has OBSOLETE_BY and FORCE - e.g.ath10k of my testing ppa : [2] - - the target dkms defined OBSOLETE_BY and FORCE - - user install dkms on a system which installed kernel version less than OBSOLETE_BY and another kernel higher than OBSOLETE_BY - - the dkms can be installed well. + 1. install the dkms package which already patched + 2. install a DKMS which has file content "{dkms name}_version-override" under /usr/share/dkms/modules_to_force_install/ + - the installation should ignore module version checking. + + 3. update that installed DKMS to a new one which added OBSOLETE_BY in dkms.conf + - on the kernel which version lower than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should be installed. + - on the kernel which version higher than OBSOLETE_BY, the dkms should NOT be installed.
