Some details about those debdiffs: they were prepared on top of a version done by Connor Kuehl that could have landed in -proposed between my uploading of the diff and the package upload/sponsorship.
That explains the extra changelog stanza and the versioning. It also explains the change in the original patches: I didn't revert the changes back, they were on Connor's version. I plan on keeping those as part of a workflow that allows multiple people to work on the package, as that seems to be happening more often these days, even though it hasn't landed in -proposed. They are all nitpicks and have no impact on users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to makedumpfile in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841288 Title: does not create compressed dump on 5.0 or later kernels Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in makedumpfile source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in makedumpfile source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] On ppc64el, makedumpfile won't create compressed dumps, causing them to be very large. This affects any kernel later than 4.19 actually. [Test case] Crash a system with kdump-tools installed and enabled, by using the following sequence. Verify the created dumps are compressed by using file. This is the same test as the autopkgtest for makedumpfile. echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger [Regression potential] This is a small fix and should only impact ppc64el. Older kernels should still work, and should be tested.
