Ah ok, yeah -- I guess that's reasonable, and is a good preemptive test, but given that it needs to be backported to a different release, feels a bit like busywork (the same time could have been spent building it for xenial :) > Apologies, I'm unfamiliar with the Ubuntu SRU process as you can > probably see.

Roughly like GitHub's Pull Requests (PR), except less formal with Git (bzr I think is somewhat more first-class in Launchpad). > I'm aware of the need of testing bugfixes like these, I'm not familiar > with your release pipeline, however. http://www.justgohome.co.uk/blog/2017/07/developing-ubuntu-using- git.html may help a bit. Roughly: $ sudo snap install --classic git-ubuntu $ git ubuntu clone iproute2 $ cd iproute2 $ ... make and commit changes $ git ubuntu submit Now, the issue is that middle bit, where you have to know a bit about source packaging. That is, simply cherry-picking the upstream/Debian fix is not quite right, as you need to change it into a Quilt patch and then insert a changelog entry. We are currently developing a fix for that so you can just do a $ git ubuntu remote add debian $ git cherry-pick 72b365e83 $ git ubuntu build-source And it should spit out a commit that has the quiltify'd and changelogify'd result that you can use as a base or to submit. Feel free to find me on IRC if you want some more pointers. In the meanwhile, I'll try and look at Monique's debdiffs this week. -Nish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720126 Title: [ip link] Message truncated error for large number of passthrough VFs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+bug/1720126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
