Could you please clarify? I understand that linux-virtual is a meta package. The whole idea is that linux-image + linux-modules should contain everything wanted for running in a VM, right? pvpanic is obviously a module targeted at VM guests, so it seems to make sense to include it among the packages used for the kernels targeting virtualization. Otherwise linux-modules-extra must be installed, and in something like a cloud environment where users might be billed for storage this is undesirable.
What is the negative impact on other variants that you are trying to avoid? Any meta package which depends on linux-modules-extra is also going to depend on linux-modules, isn't it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2126659 Title: Add pvpanic kernel modules to linux-modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2126659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
