This is the recipe for building the DisplayLink driver in a DEB package for Debian. This driver supports the following device families:
- DL-6xxx
- DL-5xxx
- DL-41xx
- DL-3xxx
Packages get automatically built by Travis CI and get uploaded to GitHub releases.
In order to compile the driver, just use make. The Makefile should download the file for you.
The easiest way to contribute with the package is to fork it and send a pull request in GitHub.
There are two main kind of contributions: either a new upstream version is released or a modification in the packaging is proposed.
There is a variable called RELEASE
for packaging purposes. That
variable should be set to 1 when contributing a new upstream version
release, and incremented in one when adding any other functionality to
the specfile for the same upstream version.
