DKMS upload rights

Sometimes you want to be able to upload the DKMS package without having get full MOTU or Ubuntu Core Developer rights. The kernel-dkms packageset is a list of packages that can be uploaded by members of the ubuntu-kernel-dkms-uploaders Launchpad team.

There is one packageset per release. See for example the Noble kernel-dkms packageset.

Adding packages to the packageset

If you need to add DKMS packages to the packageset, send a mail to the devel-permissions@lists.u.c mailing list. List the source packages and releases you need in your request.

See for example this request for the mofed-modules-24.10 package.

Applying for packageset upload rights

Like all applications, you first need to create a wiki page with your application details. Use the DeveloperApplicationTemplate to create your DKMSUploadApplication page. See for example PaoloPisati/DKMSUploadApplication.

Then, you will need to reserve a meeting with the Developer Membership Board (DMB) for applying [1]. To do so, edit the DMB agenda to add yourself to a free slot.

Unlike the ubuntu-kernel-uploaders Launchpad group for Kernel upload rights, the kernel team has no admin for the ubuntu-kernel-dkms-uploaders Launchpad group. This means we have no team process to review applications and must delegate to the DMB.
