Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package dkms [ Reason ] Lots of bugfixes, especially a behavioral regression from bullseye (inconsistent success/failure depending of the installation order of foo-dkms and linux-headers-something). [ Impact ] Currently there are some unneccessary dkms-related upgrade failures. (This does not intend to fix kernel postinst aka dkms failing due to (third-party) dkms modules incompatible with newer kernels. That is not a regression. All *-dkms packages in bookworm are compatible with the kernels in bookworm and make use of Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-dkms) [ Tests ] Most of the patches are cherry-picked from upstream or waiting to be merged upstream. Most fixes also have tests added to the upstream testsuite, stripped while cherry-picking since they depend on additional testing infrastructure improvements. For improving the autopkgtest coverage of dkms in Debian CI see dkms 3.0.10-9 in experimental and #1033900. [ Risks ] dkms has been neglected for too long ... It's quite possible that further improved testing will uncover more bugs that have been lingering around. Since I've dug into codebase now, I should be able attempt fixing more ... [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] Once all my fixes (and most of the other patches we carry) got merged upstream, I'll try to get a new upstream release and upload that s.t. we get even more fixes and the improved testsuite. unblock dkms/3.0.10-8 +dkms (3.0.10-8) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Disable tests broken by fix-builtin-archive-dkms-coinstallation.patch. + (Closes: #1033396) + * Run autopkgtest for all architectures using the headers from the + linux-headers-generic (virtual) meta-package.
