** Description changed: + [SRU Justification] + + [Impact] + + To migrate the a version scheme that is well-known to all parties. + + [Fix] + + Update debian upstream version to 1:0~NN.ddddd-git<hash>. Also based on + the upstream release/core88 HEAD at the time. + + [Test Case] + + 1. install kernel headers packages. This should include kernel headers for generic-6.8, oem-6.8, linux-azure, linux-intel-iotg, linux-lowlatency according to kernel-versions dkms map + 2. install backport-iwlwifi-dkms from -proposed and trigger dkms builds + + [Where problems could occur] + + iwlwifi dkms provides backward compatibility, but new features may still + depend on new firmware, which may not be available unless SRU-ed back to + noble. + + [Other Info] + + For Jammy, we will have oem-6.8 and hwe-6.8 soon, but no further plan + for 6.10 kernels. Currently it has nothing depending on a new iwlwifi + dkms release, so it will be skipped from this SRU, leaving only Noble as + the target. + + ========== original bug report ========== + In the past we're tracking the upstream master branch and create new builds upon the lastest HEAD available at the moment. This, however, creates ambiguity for tracking backport-iwlwifi development & releases, because the upstream puts more emphasis on the coreNN releases instead of the development branch master when investigating support of new hardware models. Currently backport-iwlwifi-dkms/noble, versioned 11510-0ubuntu1, is built from upstream revision 11520, which maps to upstream git commit 41e354fb5f32 that is a few commits behind the release/core84 HEAD commit 6d8764841123 (revision 11517). To migrate to release/core84 branches, it follows we will have to rebase our work to release/core84 HEAD and to fix debian version with an additional epoch. The proposed new version nubmer is 1:84.<rev>-git<hash>-0ubuntu1.
