Please backport network-manager-l2tp 1.2.8-1 (universe) from artful

[Douglas Kosovic]

Please backport network-manager-l2tp 1.2.8-1 (universe) from artful to xenial.

Reason for the backport:
========================
network-manager-l2tp is a brand new package that hasn't officially
existed in xenial.

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 artful -d xenial network-manager-l2tp

* xenial:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[x] network-manager-l2tp-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[x] network-manager-l2tp-gnome installs cleanly and runs
[x] network-manager-l2tp installs cleanly and runs
[x] network-manager-l2tp-gnome-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies

Although it actually builds on yakkety without modification, the package needs dependency modifications for xl2tpd and strongswan as indicated in the attached debdiff for yakkety

[Douglas Kosovic (dkosovic)]

The package needs a number of compatibility fixes for xenial and like yakkety needs dependency modifications for xl2tpd and strongswan as indicated in the attached debdiff for xenial.

[Douglas Kosovic (dkosovic)]

yakkety is obsolete and will not accept new uploads

Zesty is end of life

[Douglas Kosovic (dkosovic)]

It is clear that the back-port of network-manager-l2tp 1.2.8-1 to xenial isn't going to happen, so status changed.
