Per former discussion, better safe than sorry - added a FFe request to the description and subscribed the release-team.
** Description changed: + [FFe] + * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel + messages are preserved + * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had + no systemd coutnerpart. + * It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and + worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team + + * It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code. + Instead it just adds a new service "dmesg" that will achieve what was + lost post trusty. Therefore the potential regression to the existing + function should be minimal, if anything the new service might hit + issues on some unexpected environments but atm that seems unlikely. + + * It does not add/remove Dependencies nor modify build + + * I ahve made upgrade/install tests as well as Ahasenack doing the same + on the MP that is linked. + + + --- + After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid, /var/log/dmesg is no longer updated after boot. It appears that this was previously done via /etc/init/dmesg.conf ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => New ** Summary changed: - /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated + [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450588 Title: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: [FFe] * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel messages are preserved * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had no systemd coutnerpart. * It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team * It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code.
