[ Test Plan ] * Retrigger dkms module test for a built-in package of the same version as already built into the kernel, for example zfs-linux dkms. It should pass. * Attempt to build dkms modules against v5.15 kernel and v5.19 kernel from proposed. dkms module should be built with gcc and gcc-12 respectively. [ Where problems could occur ] * New gcc-12 dependency on the dkms package may result in two compilers being installed in the Ubuntu Desktop Live image * New gcc-12 dependency may prevent automatic upgrade/installation of the dkms package update via unattended upgrades. [ Other Info ] * It is questionable for dkms to depend on any c-compiler, given that a module for a given kernel can really be built with the same toolchain and the same compiler features. * In debian, linux kernel packages ship and extra configuration file in the kernel headers, dkms uses said configuration file to use a matching compiler, and linux-headers packages depend on the toolchain used to build a given kernel. Maybe in the future Ubuntu could consider using the same packaging. * Some DKMS modules need further fixes to preserve and not loose the compiler setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backport-iwlwifi-dkms/+bug/1991664/+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
