Description: tool to make module package creation easier
The module-assistant tool (also known as m-a) helps users and maintainers
with managing external Linux kernel modules packaged for Debian. It can
do:
.
* automated preparation of build environment for module compilation
(e.g. automatic detection and installation of required kernel
source/headers);
* automated module source downloads;
* configuration and tracking of external and locally built modules
packages;
* semi-automated multiple builds for multiple kernel versions;
.
It also contains some infrastructure to be used by the build-scripts in the
accompanying modules-source packages in Debian.
