DKMS 0.29.09 is available here.

* During a remove, not specifying the kernel-version now results in an error. If you want to remove a module for all kernels, you must now use the new --all option (eg. dkms remove -m module -v version --all).

* Added the file /etc/dkms_framework.conf which gets sourced in every time dkms runs. This allows you to specify alternate locations for $source_tree and $dkms_tree within this configuration file and allow dkms to use them.

* When looking for original modules to archive during an install, DKMS now uses the find command to search the /lib/modules/$kernel tree in the event that its not located in LOCATION. If multiple modules with the same name are located within the tree, it archives the one found in LOCATION. If multiple modules with the same name are located within the tree and none are in LOCATION, it archives nothing. If only one module is found with that name within the tree, it archives that one. Note that after uninstall, when it puts the module back into the /lib tree, regardless of where it came from initially, it will get put back into LOCATION.

* After builds complete, the kernel tree is now cleaned with a make mrproper. While doing a match, this cleaning only occurs after the last module is built.

* If an existing .config file is found in your source tree, DKMS now save it into memory and rewrites it after it does its thing.

* Added grep, cpio and gzip to the RPM Requires clause as they are needed.
