http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Debian talks about manually building
modules. There is a thing called 'dkms' which automatically builds
modules when an out-of-tree module package is installed, and rebuilds
them when new kernel versions are installed.=20

It would be great to have the ceph-kclient-source make use of this.

dkms is in unstable and testing, and in Ubuntu since hardy - so it
should be present on all Debian derived platforms with a new enough
kernel to use ceph anyway.

This is just a heads up, as many folk don't seem to have heard of dkms,
and it really is very nice.

$ apt-cache show dkms
...
Description: Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework
 DKMS is a framework designed to allow individual kernel modules to be
upgraded
 without changing the whole kernel. It is also very easy to rebuild
modules as
 you upgrade kernels.
