https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241101 --- Comment #22 from Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Adam Weinberger from comment #18) Hi Adam! We (the graphcis team) have some patches and ideas about providing a drm kmod package that builds on FreeBSD 12.0 using 12.1 headers, and then would work on FreeBSD 12.1 (but not 12.0). This task is not as easy as it seams, though. We are also working on a more long term solution to the problem, probably using a DKMS like approach, where the module is built when it is installed, rather than on the ports cluster. The package would probably contain two parts, a pre-built module that would be installed if the local system version matches the system version where the package was built, and the means to build it locally if this is not the case. This solution requires more thought though. Having a way to not load the module (or issue an error when it is loaded, and then stop loading) if the versions doesn't match is also something we have discussed. A similar approach has been suggested for virtualbox kmod, which exhibits the same issues, but not been accepted there: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16119 . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
