I don't think we can accept this backport as an enablement SRU. The openafs package doesn't just include a kernel module, it also includes all the related userspace components (as you know), including libraries and pam modules, for which you've included no test case; and there are extensive packaging changes in this version vs. the version in precise that are nearly impossible to review.
Since cherry-picking is a concern, I would suggest taking a wholesale backport of only the kernel module part of the upstream source, and validate that against an unchanged 1.6.1 userspace. I am regrettably rejecting the uploaded package from the precise queue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206387 Title: openafs-modules-dkms 1.6.1-1+ubuntu0.2: module FTBFS on 3.8.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/+bug/1206387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
