Hi Bryant, the ethtool package is maintained by the Kernel team and usually aligned with the kernel versions. Since we have -hwe [1] kernels it might be reasonable to think about also backporting a newer ethtools. In the same way one could think about other packages aligned to the available kernel version like iproute2. But while this would be great for -hwe users it will OTOH be a rather large regression risk for those not using it. That will certainly need some discussions between the Kernel and SRU team. Maybe those discussions already happened and ended with "let us not do it", I do not know. Setting Stefan "to" as I know he sometimes looks after these packages and might know more (FYI - He's out for a few more days, do not expect the fastest reply).

There's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bileto, but I always found the page to be a bit confusing if you just want to build & test your changes (which is all I do with Bileto). Here's what I do: - After logging in, click on "Create New Ticket". Give it a Description (usually the name of the package(s) being tested) and provide a Test Plan (I personally just write "dep8" in this field). Choose the "Target Series" for this ticket. - After the ticket is created, click on "Build" and then on "Build Packages". This will create a new PPA associated with your ticket, where you can upload the package(s) you want to build. - After you upload the package(s) and they've been accepted by the PPA, you can click on "Diff" and then "Regenerate Diffs". This is a necessary step in order to have Bileto run dep8. - After the PPA has finished building & publishing, and if everything looks good to you, you can set the "Lander Signoff" field to "Approved". This will let Bileto know that it can proceed with the dep8 tests. - If everything is working OK, after a while (which can be a long time) you will see links under the "Automated Test Results" field which will contain the dep8 results. That's about it. I know other people use Bileto for more complex stuff, but the above is all I need. Bileto is really great to have an idea of how a transition will unfold because it automatically tests everything related to the package you're building (i.e., it runs the dep8 tests for the package(s) and their rdeps). I don't recommend using it for a single package upload/test, though; a regular PPA is more than enough for it.

Looking at the LP team that (I think?) controls Bileto access, i.e. ~bileto-users, I appear to be already in that team...which I never realized.
