I will need a sponsor and reviewer. I haven't done one of these for a
while so I may be a bit rusty on the latest standards.
I've packaged at https://github.com/NeilW/deb-thin-provisioning-tools
I've improved the description and the only wrinkle from a standard
autoconf package is that the MANDIR doesn't appear to be set correctly
in the upstream configure. Hence the alteration to debian/rules.
The package builds and is lintian clean. It should be pretty much ready to go.
This package does cause issues with the current Debian/Ubuntu lvm2
package which are corrected in newer versions of lvm2 upstream.
e.g. http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/commit/?id=f61cacad1604eaaef18389a46b07e35eb1072008
and
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/commit/?id=8db4540263f607e2113a405953000527ffd34b3c
The Red Hat lvm2 package uses --with-thin-check=/usr/sbin/thin_check
to configure the default to the correct location for the check
executable.
There are many more patches to the dm thin support code in the lvm2
git archive. Are you planning to upgrade the Debian/Ubuntu packages to
newly released 2.2.98?
