Bug#985859: cpqarrayd - ship with bullseye? - no driver support

2021-03-24 Thread Chris Hofstaedtler
Source: cpqarrayd
Version: 2.3.6
Severity: serious

Linux upstream has removed the "cciss" driver in 4.14-rc1. cpqarrayd
needs the cciss driver to function.

I imagine we shouldn't ship software that did not work with buster's
kernel in bullseye.

As the previous maintainer of cpqarrayd, I fully agree. Since nothing
happened since we orphaned the package 3 years ago, I think it's safe to
just request removal. I have just done so in #986483.


Kind regards,
Thijs
