Ubuntu DKMS Presentation

At the Ubuntu Kernel Sprint in Lexington, Mass. this week, I did a presentation on how to create a simple package which utilizes DKMS. For those that don't know, DKMS is a distribution agnostic way to deliver driver source that is not prone to breakage when the kernel ABI changes.

When a new kernel is installed or booted, the driver is actually rebuilt against it automatically.

This is a 20 minute presentation, complete with an example package. There is a video of the talk in OGG format. It will be uploaded to the Ubuntu Dev video channel soon (in case you don't want the 1.4G file I have).

Have fun, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

NOTE: I am in the process of uploading the ogg, so be patient:

UPDATE: Here's a smaller file. I hope the quality is good enough to read the projector:
