Thanks for your work on getting these packages updated, and I'm sorry that it's taken so long to get this looked at.
I asked the kernel team about building the usbip packages as part of the kernel build process: 1:18 PM <broder> i'm wondering whether or not it would be plausible to incorporate the usbip userspace pieces into the kernel package build (there's a client, a server, and a library), or whether we should keep snapshotting the source from the kernel into a separate source package 1:19 PM <tgardner> broder, looking 1:23 PM <tgardner> broder, this is still a staging driver. while we have a mechanism for building and distributing applications from the kernel source tree, I'm not sure I wanna bother with a staging driver. 1:25 PM <broder> tgardner: ok. that's reasonable. it doesn't seem like it's going through a whole lot of churn anyway 1:26 PM <broder> i'll work on updating the separate package 1:26 PM <tgardner> broder, maybe we can pick it up when it gets promoted to mainline For now, I'm going to mark the bug task on Linux as invalid. I'm also happy to try and review your packing updates. I have a few questions/concerns so far: - Where did the -2.5- in the version number come from? Was that the kernel version number when you snapshotted it? I'm assuming at this point that the package is out of date from the current kernel - Since the 3.0.0 version of the packaging was never uploaded to Ubuntu, there should only be a single changelog entry for 3.2.0 (similarly, the debian/NEWS file should be updated) - The changelog should be more explicit about changes to the packaging. In particular, it would be good to see some discussion about the debian/header/* files - Please use XS-Debian-Vcs-Browser and -Vcs-Git instead of -Original- (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- devel/2007-March/023332.html) - As more of a wishlist thing, we generally prefer dkms-based kernel module packages over module-assistant based ones these days. It would be excellent to have a usbip-dkms in addition to (or instead of) usbip- source If you'd like to update the packaging to address all of these, that's fine. If not, I'm happy to do the cleanup, but I need a hint on the version number to move forward. (I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for the time being, but feel free to resubscribe them when you feel you've addressed my concerns) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898003 Title: usbip source is maintained in kernel tree now To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/898003/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
