Package: openvswitch Severity: important As you are certainly aware, Open vSwitch is included upstream since kernel 3.3. Post-Wheezy kernels also enable CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH in pristine Debian kernel builds (see #675010).
However, the Debian packages do not work well together with this upstream module. Generally, your user space daemons do support the kernel module but your packaging (in particular the init script) makes it really hard not to use your package without the DKMS module you ship as well. Moreover, the brcompat module does not seem to work together with the kernel module upstream (i.e. not the DKMS module from your source package). Is there a way to get these working together? For Post-Wheezy this may become more critical as you may want to stop shipping the DKMS/kernel module source at some point. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
