Hi,

This seems reasonable to me, especially since it also seems like it would be needed to address xnox's review in bug 2012412. Uploaded, and unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors.

I also took the liberty to modify a bit the testplan to make it obvious to bystanders (e.g. me) how to reproduce the issue.

Hello Roxana, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dkms into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/2.8.7-2ubuntu2.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Tested evdi-dkms module that already has this rule BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL="CONFIG_I2C CONFIG_DRM" with
jammy:linux-kvm(5.15.0-1033-kvm) that has these configs disabled.

Scenario 1:
old dkms version(2.8.7-2ubuntu2.1) without BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL. Expectation: build is done and it fails because of missing config options.

Scenario 2:
new dkms version(2.8.7-2ubuntu2.2) with BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL. Expectation: build is skipped because of missing config options:
