Public bug reported: [Impact]
At the moment we can't use the annotations scripts in focal, because we are using the'|=' update operator for merging dicts, that has been introduced with python 3.9. Rewrite the code that is using this operator in a more portable way and apply this change everywhere, so that annotations will work on any backport/derivative kernels. [Test case] Run `fakeroot debian/rules updateconfigs` in focal (using the new annotations model). [Fix] Try to use the '|=' operator in a try/except block, if it fails fallback to a more portable way. [Regression potential] With this change applied we may experience regressions during the updateconfigs phase. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Lunar) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Lunar) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020531 Title: support python < 3.9 with annotations Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Jammy: New Status in linux source package in Lunar: New Status in linux source package in Mantic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] At the moment we can't use the annotations scripts in focal, because we are using the'|=' update operator for merging dicts, that has been introduced with python 3.9.
