Comment 43 for bug 2060780

Hi Axel,

Sorry about you getting spammed about all these verifications. The robot that posts these messages looks for the Launchpad bug number in the package changelogs, and just makes a post for every package it sees it in.

You might not know, but Ubuntu has slightly over 100 kernels these days, across all series releases. These are split in the primary kernels, like -generic, and then all the derivatives like -aws, -azure, -gcp, -fips, -virtual, and so on, and then including the HWE kernels and their derivatives too.

This got fixed in all the 5.15 kernels, so the robot goes crazy and spams those "please verify" comments for all the derivatives.

We usually just verify the -generic kernel only, unless it has greater impact to one of those derivatives.

There's no further action needed on your part. The fix won't be removed for not verifying a derivative you have never heard of.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

Thanks,
Matthew
