Hi,
I had a look to the current packaging of openvswitch, in order to fix
this bug (eg: #659685) With all due respect... it's a mess.
The only reason why you are using Quilt is to patch files that are in
your openvswitch_version.debian.tar.gz. Please don't abuse quilt like
this! There's no reason to patch things under the debian folder, it
should come already patched.
Your debian-changes-1.4.0-2 is reverting some of the patches previously
applied, and which would have otherwise let the DKMS module.
I have attached a patch which removes all patches in debian/patches,
since they aren't needed at all. Also, with this patch,
openvswitch-datapath-dkms works as expected (eg: it build the kernel
module), because using ${kernel_source_dir} as it should be. Please
apply this patch and upload a new 1.4.0-3 of openvswitch.
Hi Thomas,
It is my understanding that placing patches under debian/patches is part of
the 3.0 (quilt) package format. Is OVS using the format incorrectly in some
way? Does that format interact with DKMS poorly in some way?
