Please backport vmfs6-tools 0.1.0-3 (universe) from focal

[Thomas Ward]

Please backport vmfs6-tools 0.1.0-3 (universe) from focal to bionic.

Reason for the backport:
========================
vmfs6-tools is the packaging of a fork of vmfs-tools which is designed to work around VMFS6, the latest VMFS version used by VMware. It however is not reverse compat with vmfs4/5 so it's been packaged to be coinstallable.

Given that Bionic is an LTS, we should probably backport this functionality to Bionic.

This package was created by me and is now in Debian, and I have been using a form of the package that's been backported to Bionic for some time.

Changes Required:
=================
The compat level for DH should be set to 11 for the backport or to >= 11 to make sure it builds correctly in Backports, unless DH 12 is available in Backports at build time.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s focal -d bionic vmfs6-tools

* bionic:
[ Yes ] Package builds without major modification - See above for DH Compat changes that may be necessary
[ Yes ] vmfs6-tools installs cleanly and runs
[I:Yes] vmfs6-tools-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs - Debug Symbols, install only test.

No reverse dependencies

Sounds good. You'll need to backport to eoan too, to maintain the upload path - please can you do that?

I believe MOTU can upload to backports, so please do it and ping me when it needs to be reviewed.

Thanks!

Uploaded to Eoan's upload queue for the Backports target pocket.

It's now sitting in NEW for review.

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

This was accepted from the NEW queue in Eoan. (However, it's still in the process of building on some of the architectures)
