Hello, I was quickly checking if I could help preparing the upgrade of IPRoute2 packages for Noble (before the final freeze).
In short, IPRoute2 has Ubuntu specific modifications. The merge was not difficult, the code is there: https://code.launchpad.net/~matttbe/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+git/iproute2/+ref/merge- lp2051672-noble But then, I realised that the 6.8 Linux kernel in Noble no longer includes Ubuntu FAN support. We could then drop these Ubuntu specific patches and sync with Debian. Andrea Righi mentioned this on IRC: > ubuntu-fan has been temporarily dropped from the noble kernel (see the discourse post https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing- kernel-6-8-for-the-24-04-noble-numbat-release), we're still trying to figure out if there are still some users that rely on this feature, if not we can definitely sync with Debian & upgrade Because the situation is still unknown, it might be good to continue to merge IPRoute2 with the version from Debian. In this case, please use the version I shared here above. I understand that we might be short on time, but it might be good if someone from the Kernel Packages team could have a look at this :) That would help to support networking features added in Kernel >6.1! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051672 Title: Merge iproute2 with the latest Debian version: 6.8.0-1 from testing/unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+bug/2051672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
