[Bug 1546967] Re: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages
the clean target still expects to find matching kernel headers to be
installed ('make clean mrproper'), that'd need to be fixed IMO
also the ABI number probably should be pulled from the version string
instead of expecting a changelog entry of certain format.

I think we have two options: 1. Do not provide linux-backports to LTS kernels; or 2. Introduce new packages by appending -lts- to package name, such as linux-backports-lts- (source package name), which builds packages using LTS kernel headers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546967 Title: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backports/+bug/1546967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1546967] Re: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages
I note that the binary packages produced by the source backports are all linux-backports already so there is an inconsistancy here also suggesting the name be linux-backports. Also the binary packages are necessarily versioned so that more than one version can be installed. This brings them very much into the same shape as kernel packages, which adds to the argument that these should be versioned in sync with the kernels to which they apply. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546967 Title: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backports/+bug/1546967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1546967] Re: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages
I would agree that backports is too generic. As your meta package is linux-backports-meta the logical name is linux-backports to match. Also as this package is locked to the specific version of the kernel against which it builds I would recommend you version the package in line with the kernel to which it matches. This is what we do with all the other version locked packages that the kernel-team maintains, see linux-signed as an example of how we handle versions there. Also have you considered how this will work with LTSs and specifically with multiple lts backport kernels into the same release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546967 Title: [FFe] [needs-packaging] linux backports and related meta packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backports/+bug/1546967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
