Bug#651795: linux-3.1 is not supported by upstream
Hey, I read some basic information from homepage and Wikipedia. Looks like 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 versions have been released in last years. Shouldn't Debian package been updated to 2.x as well? If staying on 1.8, 1.8.6 and later clients can interoperate 2.x servers. But Debian package is still at 1.8.5 with some bugs that are fixed in later versions. That's correct and there is also work on 2.2 packages for debian - however these packages are far away from beeing stable. 1.8.5 can be considered stable and can be used without huge problems on big clusters. Maybe you should ask wider opinion what to do with Lustre in Debian. I think I don't have to do this - as written above there is work in progress to get 2.2 in (see our git). - However this software is not stable enough to be considered for wheezy.

Hi, I don't think this is RC from a FTBFS point of view, but I'm not entirely sure about if it would be policy compliant. The simplest way of fixing this would be to move it from main to contrib - would you be willing to do this as maintainer? Thanks, Neil -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#651795: linux-3.1 is not supported by upstream
severity 651795 wishlist thanks Hey, as shown on the support matrix from whamcloud (or of lustre.org) linux 3.1 is not supported by upstream, thus the compilation of lustre-source against the kernel source 3.1 is really allowed to fail here. The correct title for this bug report should be: Support for linux 3.1 is missing. not that it fails to compile... In order to use lustre you are supposed to grab your kernel source either from SLES or from kernel.org and compile manually.

If this package don't work starting from 3.1 , then it probably won't work with 3.2 sources that Debian now ship for wheezy (didn't test myself). This package should be updated to work with 3.2 sources or removed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hey, Upstream support is irrelavant for this bug. Nope it is not.. in fact this situation was exactly the same for the last two debian releases... lustre didn't support the standard kernel in these releases. this is not that bad than it sounds as lustre is a very very specific kind of software, which is rarely/not at all used by normal users. This specific package is needed to build the kernel modules for the server and the client servers of lustre - and for this you really need plain kernel.org kernels (or SLES ones). I would really appreciate if we could come to the agreement, as done for the last releases also, that the support of the standard debian kernel is no RC bug for lustre. Loosing this type of software in debian, would be not good. Citing wikipedia: Because Lustre has high performance capabilities and open licensing, it is often used in super computers. At the present time, fifteen of the top 30 supercomputers in the world have Lustre file systems in them, including the world's fastest TOP500 supercomputer, IBM Sequoia.
