[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
Even the suggested workaround is broken.

Sean, It's very easy to overlook comments on a closed bug - it's not a good way to report continuing problems. The primary concern of this bug - the missing metapackages - is indeed fixed.

As of now, AFAICT the latest kernel package is linux- image-2.6.27-9-generic, but all the ddebs are for 2.6.28? -- does not build a lot of metapackages any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
So for linux-image-debug-generic, the intentional supported path is to manually download the .ddeb from ddebs.ubuntu.com and install it with dpkg, and do this again next time the kernel is upgraded, and it can't be managed with apt? Or is this an oversight or temporary situation while other things are in flux? (In addition to me not being able to use apt for this, I'll also note that the ddebs server seems a lot slower than the mainline servers, btw.) -- does not build a lot of metapackages any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
If xen or openvz reappear, the package building those binaries will also provide the meta packages (as -rt does now). linux-kernel-devel was a package of fabbione's creating because he couldn't remember what all needed to be installed. IMO, it's not really useful, and easily becomes inaccurate. I'm adding linux-source to linux-meta, which seems to be the only meta package really missing. -- does not build a lot of metapackages any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
I just got pointed at this bug when asking for intrepid linux-image- debug packages on IRC. I see how some might think it makes sense to throw kernel debug packages with normal debug packages. However I disagree. Debug information for kernel+modules is special because it is needed for low level debugging tools like systemtap and oprofile, which are both available in the normal archive. Especially oprofile is very useful to benchmark and/or troubleshoot servers, I don't think you should have to enable a ddebs repo just to do this. Also, how do you even figure out that they are on ddebs? And how do you handle upgrades from hardy for people who use this kind of tools? A smaller problem, is that the package are not really available on ddebs either. The packages are on http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/, but they are not in the Packages files so you can't install them using APT. One bigger problem that will prevent me from installing them is that bug 185625 (sign the repository at ddebs.ubuntu.com) is not fixed. This means that in Intrepid it is currently impossible to get trusted kernel debug packages. :-( -- does not build a lot of metapackages any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
linux-ports-meta fixed quite a bit of this. The remaining missing packages are: linux-headers-cell linux-headers-openvz linux-headers-xen linux-image-cell linux-image-debug-generic linux-image-debug-server linux-image-openvz linux-image-xen linux-kernel-devel linux-openvz linux-source linux-xen *-cell were transitional packages to *-powerpc64-smp in hardy, so we can ignore those. The openvz and xen flavours are missing from intrepid. Is there any hope that they will return? linux no longer seems to build linux-image-debug-* (e.g. linux-image- debug-2.6.24-16-generic). Was this intentional? Are crash dumps gathered in some other way now? I haven't been keeping track. This is particularly odd since linux-ports still builds linux-image- debug-2.6.25-2-386. linux used to build linux-kernel-devel, which was a metapackage with the following dependencies. Should it be restored? build-essential, curl, debhelper, git-core, gitk, kernel-package, kernel-wedge, openssh-client, rsync It seems that linux-meta ought to build linux-source (linux- source-2.6.27 exists, and linux-ports-meta builds linux-ports-source). -- does not build a lot of metapackages any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more
There's an ubuntu-ports-meta metapackage in NEW now, but it builds (IMO) the wrong set of binary package names - linux-ports-* rather than linux-*. Stefan wants Ben to sign off on that being changed, so I'll talk with him tomorrow.
