Now that openafs 1.4.8.dfsg1-3, which includes all of the necessary changes, is in Jaunty, only the control file entry for the new openafs- modules-dkms binary package needs to be uncommented. (It is commented in Debian because the Debian dkms package is still in the NEW queue.) Therefore, I request a FFE for this change.
The attached debdiff bumps the version to 1.4.8.dfsg1-3+ubuntu1, updates the maintainer to ubuntu-motu, and uncomments openafs-modules-dkms from debian/control. (Why -3+ubuntu1 instead of -3ubuntu1? The openafs-modules-source package is built with module-assistant and results in a binary package named openafs-modules-2.6.28-11-generic with version 1.4.8.dfsg1-3+2.6.28-11.38. As it turns out, 1.4.8.dfsg1-3ubuntu1+2.6.28-11.38 would actually be a lower version. The Debian maintainer says that -3+ubuntu1 is consistent with the versioning scheme they use for Debian security updates.) Risk of regression is very low because this only adds a new binary package and does not change the existing packages. The existing openafs-modules-source package still works with module-assistant as before, so users who do not choose to install openafs-modules-dkms will be unaffected. As soon as the Debian dkms package enters unstable and openafs-modules- dkms is enabled in Debian, this Ubuntu patch can be dropped. This package has been built and tested in my PPA. I verified that the openafs-modules-dkms package works correctly. Previous versions of it have been tested across kernel and openafs upgrades. <https://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg/+archive/ppa> (It is currently rebuilding with the new version number.) ** Attachment added: "debdiff for Jaunty" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24614180/openafs_1.4.8.dfsg1-3%2Bubuntu1_lp288743.debdiff ** Summary changed: - Use dkms for openafs-modules + FFE: Use dkms for openafs-modules -- FFE: Use dkms for openafs-modules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
