Re: building dkms source packages using mkdsc

Mario,
Sweet, I've made the modifications manually after running dkms mkdsc.
However, I'll figure out how to put that into the template files and
send you a patch when I can and after testing on my end.

Martin,
Of course I'll send them upstream first. : )

Now to just find some downtime to hack on this!
