- secure 7y agoIn general, computation is pushed out of the package installation phase and to wherever it absolutely must happen before continuing. In this case, one could place a wrapper to wherever kernel modules are loaded (modprobe/insmod for interactive usage, and something within systemd for automated use, I suppose?). Overall, I don’t like the concept of dynamic kernel module compilation, though I understand it has to be done realistically in some cases.
