Hey folks, Debian have removed the alsa-driver package, and have created an alsa-bsae package in its place. The 2 big changes that this brings are: * No alsa-driver source package shipped in any form, since all driver work is now done in the kernel. * No linux-sound-base related packages, since OSS is no longer shipped in Debian in any form, same with Ubuntu.
The alsa-base package now ships some modprobe.d configuration files, and the /usr/sbin/alsa script. I meant to get this done in Quantal, but didn't get to it, so for Raring, I will transition us from the alsa-driver source package to the alsa-base source package. As for Ubuntu specific modifications, we may have some changes to the alsa script which I will carry over. Other than that, its just the apport hook. My plan of action is as follows: * When raring opens, sync alsa-base from Debian. * Make an upload with our required additions as above. * Get alsa-base promoted to main. * Get alsa-driver removed from the archive.
