--- Begin Message ---Package: openvswitch Severity: important As you are certainly aware, Open vSwitch is included upstream since kernel 3.3. Post-Wheezy kernels also enable CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH in pristine Debian kernel builds (see #675010). However, the Debian packages do not work well together with this upstream module. Generally, your user space daemons do support the kernel module but your packaging (in particular the init script) makes it really hard not to use your package without the DKMS module you ship as well. Moreover, the brcompat module does not seem to work together with the kernel module upstream (i.e. not the DKMS module from your source package). Is there a way to get these working together? For Post-Wheezy this may become more critical as you may want to stop shipping the DKMS/kernel module source at some point. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

--- Begin Message ---The last update to this bug, on 04 Nov 2012, promised: I'll show you actual problems soonish. Sorry for my overhasty bug report, I filed it after some discussion where I recalled the problems I mentioned. It has been about a year since then, so I think that I can safely say that it's well past "soonish", and so I'm closing this bug (with this email). If you do decide to explain further, please reopen this bug, or open a new bug, according to your own preference. Thanks, Ben.
