DKMS 0.30.17 is available here.

* Added SuSE/United Linux kernel preparation support (Many Thanks to Fred Treasure - fwtreas () us ! ibm ! com). I have only tested this on SLES 8, but from what it looks like, this should prepare your UnitedLinux kernel for building a module regardless of which kernel you are currently running. SuSE has a different mkinitrd command so if it detects this, and REMAKE_INITRD is set in your dkms.conf, it tells you to manually fix your initrd. For Red Hat, it does all the mkinitrd work for you. If you have feedback on how to best accomplish this for SuSE/UL, please let me know.

* Added the --directive option. This allows you to specify dkms.conf directives on the command line. You can use the --directive option multiple times on the same command line to specify multiple additional cli directives. Also, if you plan to use to specify the make command during a build, you must use the MAKE= directive and not the MAKE_<kernel-regexp> directives.

* Added an internal readlink subroutine for determining the location of symlinks. I did not want to add a dependency on tetex so this seemed the better approach.

* Added a mkdir -p $LOCATION during dkms installs so that your built modules will get placed in the $LOCATION directory regardless if it existed beforehand or not.
