Public bug reported: [background]
fwupd 0.7.3 adds support for flashing capsule updates not placed in the ESRT. It uses libsmbios to query the flashability of these packages. It also resolves the fwupd half of https://launchpad.net/bugs/1589585 which will fix unplugging a USB device causing gnome-software to check for software updates. Currently this bug will be blocked by a variety of other bugs: 1) MIR of libsmbios https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsmbios/+bug/1603072 If/when that MIR is resolved it will need to be made effective in xenial and development release both. If any changes are required for libsmbios, they'll need to be backported to xenial too. 2) FFe for EFI tools transition in yakkety: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupdate/+bug/1620698 The rest of the tools don't need to be backported to xenial, only fwupd. In development release upgrading the other tools REQUIRES upgrading fwupd though. ** Affects: fwupd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Affects: fwupd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Changed in: fwupd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Also affects: fwupd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: fwupd (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621500 Title: SRU: backport fwupd 0.7.3 to xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1621500/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
