Read the "first submitted" date of this package and the comments at the top inside the PKGBUILD... there was a time where packages where starting with "dkms" actually in Archlinux history.
To do your suggestion, I'll have to upload a new package just with the name change and ask for the removal of this one. Till there's a formal obligation from AUR rules, I don't think the hassle for that gives us any benefit due to the few votes this package has received.
On the other hand, I just updated the package to reflect the new hash of the main file. It seems the original developer just updated the Makefile and didn't increased the version of his software.

A suggestion: To rename your package to
frandom-dkms. Adding-dkmsat the end seems to be the de-facto-standard (maybe it is also in the guidelines?, I haven't checked.)dreieck commented on 2021-02-16 20:28
Checksum verification fails:
Thanks for maintaining!

Done. Big thanks to you, jihem.

Hi,
You can add the following patch to make this package compatible with Linux 4.12.
You should also remove the .install file (not necessary with pacman hooks) and remove (or move to optdepends) linux-headers dependency for people who don't use the default kernel.

Done, let dkms autoload the module from now on.

Done, use the dkms module from now on.

Actually I'm thinking in removing the initfiles script since dkms is configured by default to autoload the installed modules (check your /etc/conf.d/dkms). Doesn't dkms autoload frandom in your system?
