DKMS 2.0.16.1 (test release, not for production use) is posted now at 

http://linux.dell.com/dkms/testing

* Tue Mar 20 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch at dell.com> 2.0.16.1
- spec file cleanups per re-review in Fedora
- add bash completion, rpmbuild check, pinit, pass-arch patches from
  Mandriva.  These are generic.  The other Mandriva patches appear to
  be distro-specific.
- Look for /etc/sysconfig/module-init-tools to get some values.

If you use have bash-completion installed, you might want to give this
a try.  dkms stat<TAB> -k <TAB> etc. now autocomplete thanks to the
folks at Mandriva.  (hint: I found this and the other Mandriva patches
while trying to figure out where the Provides: dkms-minimal came from.
I snagged the generic patches I could easily understand, but didn't
apply the extra Mandriva-specific patches.  If someone wanted to clean
those up so they are generic, I'd be happy to look at them again...)

module-init-tools doesn't have a release with the new config file I've
asked for, but I expect it soon. :-)

Thanks to Michael Brown for taking the time to re-review DKMS for
Fedora Extras and for suggesting some sane cleanups.


Thanks,
Matt
