Comment 4 for bug 1254830

Thanks for letting me know, Henrik.

I actually have a number of questions for you about possible further
repackaging of version 2.1.1, mostly to correct minor errors (like the
fact the changelog shows my name/email addr. but not yours) introduced
by me when building, or attempts to fix something that isn't quite
right for other reasons. Some/all of this may have no use for version
3.0, but what can I say, since the initial goal (repackage for Trusty)
is done, and I have time, I'd like to polish it up to remove minor
annoyances. I can be a perfectionist when time allows.

I will try to be brief (maybe even one line of text or a short
paragraph per issue). :-)

1. Fix packing files to have both original info and my changes
2. I think there may be some missing/incorrect info in
/usr/src/vhba-20130607/dkms.conf
Specifically, I compared it to the corresponding file for Virtualbox,
also uses dkms, and vhba is different (I think this relates to why I
had trouble removing the saucy version to install my package) (trying
to be brief, honest)
3. Same idea for /lib/udev/rules.d/40-vhba-dkms.rules it also differs
from Virtualbox, and since Virtualbox's dkms components work well, I
assume (maybe incorrectly?) that they are closer to the
official/supported Debian/Ubuntu syntax.
4. During removal/installation it throws errors/warnings at the user,
if the above changes fix those, I'll redo the package for trusty. If
you have a system running Precise (12.04, also an LTS) or Debian
Wheezy 7 (current stable) it might make sense to redo those packages
for the same reason.
5. Finally, is there any reason the version for vhba is 20130607
rather than 2.1.1? If the files were all the same version 2.1.1 it
seems more logical somehow, as an end user I'd prefer it that way.

P.S. Not to be self-congratulatory, but if the existing Trusty package
meets your approval, since you already gave me access to upload source
packages to the ppa, you can mark me as package maintainer. :-)
