Bug#990559: Please unblock package mdevctl 0.81-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Hi,
please unblock mdevctl 0.81-1.
It fixes a problem with an allowed combined usage two parameters.
v0.78 -> 0.81 sounds a lot, but that is due to the way upstream creates
versions which essentially is a counter of git commits.
Therefore the only real change is [1] which should be ok for the freeze time.
There are two packaging-only changes which I had in git but not
uploaded yes (as they didn't qualify for an upload without any fix.
But both are no-impact changes (compat level while the package has not much
that is affected by it and the drop of the unused d/source/local-options.
The builds all LGTM, see [2]. I have installed the new build and it works
as expected:
Before
# mdevctl define -p 0.0.0033 --jsonfile mdev_nodedev.json
/usr/sbin/mdevctl: line 183:
/etc/mdevctl.d/0.0.0033/eea1c8dc-ce6d-42dd-bd26-02e3b707ff95: No such
file or directory
After
# mdevctl define -p 0.0.0033 --jsonfile mdev_nodedev.json
83123a52-3147-44d1-9154-1175e266804e
The package has no autopkgtests as they would be superficial and not much
worth or would need mdev splittable GPUs or such on the test systems which we
can not assume/expect to have. Therefore I need to ask you via this ubblock
request. I hope that this is sufficient to unblock, if you need anything
else please let me know.
