As a quick glance, the repository is just for deb-based distributions.

...

From my experience, users who eager to use the latest source codes tend

to use Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux. It's helpful for the users to include some instructions just to use the code with DKMS system. Then you could get any feedback from them as well.

Yes, that's correct. It appears that the "dkms mkrpm ..." functionality is not on Ubuntu. I am mostly a Fedora person privately (Slackware before Fedora). The Ubuntu thing is a work-requirement. Have never used Arch nor Gentoo.

I'll see if I could get it done on Fedora too.

The dkms packaging is mostly done for junior colleagues - I had removed all of work-related material before posting, so it is a bit bare at the moment.

For your information, I maintain out-of-tree codes to develop ALSA firewire stack for a couple of years, as you start: https://github.com/takaswie/snd-firewire-improve

Yes, thanks. I came across that, and a few other repos which try to package up other part of bleeding-edge sound driver code (like HDA), but not sound/usb yet. Hence this posting.
