Thank you Talat. After talking to development team, they decided is best to have another package called "mstflint4" in universe repository for trusty (than going on with a sync/merge like this SRU was proposing). For that to happen I'll now prepare a source package and make it available for it to be uploaded to -universe. Then I'll ask for sponsorship again.
>From #ubuntu-devel: 10:37 <inaddy> slangasek: you mentioned that instead of merging/sync mstflint for trusty we should create a mstflint4 package (probably universe). what is the best procedure for this ? to follow the request for inclusion (as described in [MIR] procedure) ? creating a PPA with full source + bzr branch ? 10:45 <rbasak> inaddy: an uploader will be able to upload any source package. I suggest you follow normal SRU procedure and link to a source package upload from the bug somehow. A PPA would be fine. 10:45 <rbasak> (and detail the exception in the bug) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470167 Title: mstflint doesn't support Mellanox ConnectX-4 HCAs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mstflint/+bug/1470167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
