DKMS version 0.99.01 is now available (tarball or RPM):

* Bumped the version to 0.99 to convey impending 1.00 release status. The intention is to iron out any remaining issues and move out of beta phase in the coming weeks.

* Added MODULES_CONF_OBSOLETE_ONLY[#] directive array available in dkms.conf. This array, when set to "yes", informs DKMS to only modify /etc/modules.conf if it finds an obsolete reference within it as specified in the MODULES_CONF_OBSOLETES[#] array.

* Changed DKMS so it will now only bother to remove /etc/modules.conf entries during an uninstall if REMAKE_INITRD is set, or if you are uninstalling your module from the last kernel that it is installed on.

* Fixed mktarball so that the file that it creates cannot have a filename >255 chars

* Updated the man page
