Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: + [Justification] + ppc64-diag is a package specific to IBM POWER hardware. It is built for Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of ppc64-diag on ppc64el. + + [Test case] + Proper functioning of ppc64-diag to be confirmed by IBM. + + [Regression potential] + The new upstream version of ppc64-diag consists of endianness fixes, build system changes, miscellaneous bug fixes, and some small backwards-compatible new features (including a new utility, opal-dump-parse). The current package is of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to not work on ppc64el. Risk of regression is negligible. + Please update ppc64-diag package ppc64-diag v2.6.7 git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/linux-diag/ppc64-diag linux-diag-ppc64-diag http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-diag/files/ppc64-diag/v.2.6.7/ppc64-diag-2.6.7.tar.gz/download Machine Type = IBM Power 8 Userspace tool common name: ppc64-diag Please update both 14.04 and 14.10 branch - + -Vasant ** Changed in: ppc64-diag (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358506 Title: [ppc64-diag] Package update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ppc64-diag/+bug/1358506/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
