Sync dkms 2.1.1.2-2 (main) from Debian testing (main)

[Anders Kaseorg]

Please sync dkms 2.1.1.2-2 (main) from Debian testing (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

Debian has been updating their dkms package so that it can be synced
into Ubuntu. The current Debian package is identical to the Ubuntu
package plus the following seven commits (modulo debian/changelog):

  * [ff95487] dh_dkms: continue the loop if there's nothing to do on the
    current package. (Closes: #568580)
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=ff95487
    LP bug #534832
  * [73dd83f] dh_dkms: specify that version mangling only happens if
    PACKAGE_VERSION=#MODULE_VERSION# in dkms.conf
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=73dd83f
  * [cdda61c] debian/scripts/postinst-dkms: really make sure the error
    is thrown when nothing is found. (Closes: #568591)
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=cdda61c
    LP bug #534833
  * [2930aa9] Insert the package version directly into postinst at
    creation time
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=2930aa9
  * [9ccbdc7] Skip prerm removal if there are no modules for that
    version
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=9ccbdc7
  * [e8aeb49] Add a comment in debian/patches/series and fix quilt-
    build-dep-but-no-series-file lintian warning
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=e8aeb49
  * [bc89600] Fixed a minor spelling error in dh_dkms man page
    http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dkms.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc89600

The first and third are critical bug fixes to make dh_dkms work at
all, and the rest would be nice to have; plus it’s useful for Ubuntu
and Debian to share the dkms package.

Changelog entries since current lucid version 2.1.1.2-0ubuntu1:

dkms (2.1.1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * [67fb76a] Do not remove /etc/header_postinst.d/dkms in preinst. Hopefully
    now Ubuntu can sync dkms from Debian

I guess this probably needs a fakesync because Debian repacked the .orig.tar.gz (its contents are the same).

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Ack

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Unsubscribing sponsors.

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

broder points out to me that this probably needs a FeatureFreezeException. However, I think the case is pretty straightforward.

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

(oops, pressed submit too early)

broder points out to me that this probably needs a FeatureFreezeException. However, I think the case is pretty straightforward. The entire diff consists of bug fixes to dh_dkms. I’ve built and tested the new dkms package, and built and tested the new version of openafs that uses dh_dkms against it, at https://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg/+archive/openafs ; everything works fine.

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

Jamie: What is missing from this report?

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

ubuntu-release: Is a FFe required/granted for this sync?

I don’t think it is required, because the patches are only bugfixes to dh_dkms (which currently doesn’t work at all) and documentation updates. However, ubuntu-archive has requested a decision.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

No FFE required, just bug fixes. Great to see that we are in sync again (at least fakesync...), but maybe there can be a new upstream release soon, too? (/me waves to Mario :) )

Please go ahead with the (fake)sync.

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

Thanks Martin. Marking confirmed again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.1.1.2-2fakesync1
