Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my backport of package "batctl" for
jessie-backports-sloppy. It is required to use the netlink batadv commands
which were introduced with newer kernel version. There were multiple members
of the Freifunk community which observed this problem when they either used a
newer backports kernel or when they've build the external batman-adv
2018.2/2018.3 module (which has DEBUGFS disabled by default). Here is an
example from yesterday:
<ChristianD1>
https://zerobin.fff.community/?ae8511ae06bb09c0#0FvEHmbKsRIQhTsIfhs87iRSbJMtorJ+LRup0N2oz6o=
can anyone help me, why i can't look in he dat table?
<ordex> ChristianD: is bat0 up ?
<ordex> and is also ffffichtostVPN up?
<ChristianD> yes and yews
<ChristianD> it works fine
<ChristianD> the complete mesh works fine, but i can't look into the dat
table
<ecsv> ChristianD: looks like you are using a batctl version which cannot
talk via netlink to batman-adv
<ecsv> (at least not to the dat cache)
<ecsv> please update to at least batctl 2018.1
<ecsv> or enable debugfs again in batman-adv
I am the current maintainer (with Simon) of batctl in Debian. And I also did
the jessie-backports uploads in the past. But this upload must now go through
NEW (tested this because I was not sure) and thus I need a sponsor for that.
