The patches do not have to get accepted upstream, the requirement is that they're available in the latest development series - so for bionic.
So, if for this bug to be fixed the plano patches are required, the steps should be: * Uploading the patches to modemmanager bionic * The patches get backported to zesty modemmanager * Xenial gets a zesty backport of modemmanager with the patches If the patches aren't needed instantly, I can sponsor a quick backport of the current zesty package to xenial if needed (e.g. without any new patches). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to modemmanager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725190 Title: Please update modemmanager in xenial to the 1.6 series Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: We would like to upgrade xenial to 1.6 series so it supports the same modems as the modem-manager snap, specifically some new Sierra modems (HL8548 and others from HL series, popular in IoT devices).
