[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1841288] Re: does not create compressed dump on 5.0 or later kernels
Some details about those debdiffs: they were prepared on top of a version done by Connor Kuehl that could have landed in -proposed between my uploading of the diff and the package upload/sponsorship. That explains the extra changelog stanza and the versioning. It also explains the change in the original patches: I didn't revert the changes back, they were on Connor's version. I plan on keeping those as part of a workflow that allows multiple people to work on the package, as that seems to be happening more often these days, even though it hasn't landed in -proposed. They are all nitpicks and have no impact on users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to makedumpfile in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841288 Title: does not create compressed dump on 5.0 or later kernels Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in makedumpfile source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in makedumpfile source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] On ppc64el, makedumpfile won't create compressed dumps, causing them to be very large.
