Jeremy, Frederick or Breno; I've updated the description to explain how testing can be done for this when making it available on 14.04, but what I could add was quite limited. Any other details you could share on how testing should be done for this?
** Description changed: + [Impact] + Users of ppc64el POWER8 hardware / OPAL firmwares + + [Test case] + Testing this software requires real POWER8 hardware. + 1) Run opal-prd on a POWER8 system + 2) Verify that the daemon runs and is listening on /dev/opal-prd (which needs to be provided by the kernel) + 3) *TBD* (see below, firmware-provided code may be executed depending on received events) + + [Regression Potential] + Minimal. This is hardware enablement software, not previously available in Ubuntu, which is done in cooperation with and at the request of the hardware manufacturer. + + --- + This is a bug to track the inclusion of opal-prd package in Ubuntu. The plan is to add it initially for 15.10 and later backport it to 14.04 archive. opal-prd is a daemon that listens for hardware diagnostic events (by listening on the /dev/opal-prd device), and executes firmware- providedexecutable code to handle these events. For now, the code lives inside https://github.com/open- power/skiboot/tree/master/external/opal-prd. opal-prd/skiboot is specific to ppc64el -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1467542 Title: [FFE] ship skiboot (opal-prd) 5.1.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skiboot/+bug/1467542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
