Rejected as the current upload won't be sufficient for backports (see previous comment), and isn't necessary for natty users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783864 Title: need a versioned depend on vgabios To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/783864/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 783864] Re: need a versioned depend on vgabios
This SRU seems quite pointless to me: it does not fix anything for natty users, as the vgabios version is recent enoug there. Why is it worth spending the effort of preparing, building, and QAing this, and having a nonzero regression risk? Oneiric has the versioned dependency, so backports will have it, too. For the theoretical case of a natty-lucid backport, the dependency can be added for the backport upload. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783864 Title: need a versioned depend on vgabios -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 783864] Re: need a versioned depend on vgabios
I don't have a strong opinion either way (I've got it resolved where I needed it to be), but the only justification that comes to mind for me is a partial upgrade scenario. Whether or not that's an SRU qualifier, I've no idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783864 Title: need a versioned depend on vgabios -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

For the theoretical case of a natty-lucid backport, the dependency can be added for the backport upload. Just as a reminder: If this ever does get backported to Lucid, I'd recommend that the versioned dependency should be vgabios (= 0.6c-2ubuntu2~) (notice the tilde at the end). This is because vgabios will have to be backported as well and the backport will be versioned as e.g. 0.6c-2ubuntu2~lucid1, so it would not satisfy the tildeless versioned dependency. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783864 Title: need a versioned depend on vgabios -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 783864] Re: need a versioned depend on vgabios
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm includes symlinks to files in the vgabios package, but only
newer vgabios packages provide those files. The dependency that natty
oneiric's qemu-kvm has on vgabios probably needs to be versioned to = 0
.6c-2ubuntu2 to work well w/ partial upgrades and backports.
+
+ SRU Justifications:
+ 1. Impact: users backporting qemu-kvm need to know to manually upgrade
vgabios first. A versioned depend should be warning them and doing it for them.
+
+ 2. How bug was addressed: the vgabios depends is versioned to ensure
+ that the version provides needed symlink targets.
+
+ 3. Patch:
+ diff -u qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
+ --- qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
