[BPO] elfutils/0.188-1 from Lunar

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

[Impact]

 * elfutils ships many ELF/DWARF related tools that are interesting for users and developers of low level code.

 * More specifically, elfutils ships the debuginfod library and server. The latest upstream version (0.188) introduces many interesting features that should make the life of debuginfod users easier; one of those features is the ability to serve sections of DWARF, instead of the whole file. I intend to update Ubuntu's debuginfod instance to use this new package in the near future.

[Scope]

 * I will backport elfutils/0.188 from Lunar.

 * I will backport elfutils/0.188 to Jammy.

[Other Info]

 * None so far.

By "update" do you mean SRU or via Backports? If you are not going to be doing this via Backports, then I would suggest that you hunt an SRU on the sole basis that mixing and matching SRU/Backports makes things a "Well, why do we need this?" situation on both Backports and Stable Release Updates.

Via Backports. I can't do it via SRU because this is a new release with
new features, which is not suitable to be SRUed.

Ping.

we briefly discussed this in the backporters mtg and it looks good to us, however it's backported from 0.188-1 which is currently in lunar-proposed, so that needs to migrate to lunar-release before we can accept this backport; feel free to ping us once that's happened.

[Sergio Durigan Junior (sergiodj)]

Thanks, Dan. I'll ping you when elfutils migrates on lunar, then.

[Sergio Durigan Junior (sergiodj)]

Hi there,

elfutils/0.188-1 has just migrated to lunar-release. Thanks.
