Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628279 Title: python utilities script suffix (.py) should be removed as per Policy 10.4 Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] The zfs utilities scripts shipped with debian and ubuntu such as : * arc_summary.py : Provides a summary of the statistics * arcstat.py : Print out ZFS ARC Statistics exported via kstat(1) * dbufstat.py : Print out statistics for all cached dmu buffers should be renamed according to Policy 10.4 : https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts "When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it." Ideally, this should be fixed and upstreamed to Debian (or to zfslinux upstream) as well. [Test Case] * Install zfsutils-linux * List files $ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep "arc|dbufstat" /usr/sbin/arc_summary.py /usr/sbin/arcstat.py /usr/sbin/dbufstat.py [Regression Potential] * none expected, this is a trivial change that simply rename the scripts to remove the extension (.py) with a simple 'mv' before the dh_install invocation in order to get this expected result : $ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep -i "arc|dbuf" /usr/sbin/arc_summary /usr/sbin/arcstat /usr/sbin/dbufstat Yakkety include the renaming as shown above. Xenial will have a symlink to not break user experience until next release upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/19 So user will be able to use both for instance : arcstat.py or arcstat [Other Info] * Justification/argument for Xenial https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/13 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/14 * Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839645 * Upstream (ZoL) is reluctant to change it at upstream code level. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/2 * This has been flag by Adam Conrad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1574342/comments/19 * Debian policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
