The patches do not have to get accepted upstream, the requirement is that they're available in the latest development series - so for bionic.
So, if for this bug to be fixed the plano patches are required, the steps should be: * Uploading the patches to modemmanager bionic * The patches get backported to zesty modemmanager * Xenial gets a zesty backport of modemmanager with the patches If the patches aren't needed instantly, I can sponsor a quick backport of the current zesty package to xenial if needed (e.g. without any new patches). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725190 Title: Please update modemmanager in xenial to the 1.6 series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1725190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
