Public bug reported:
Hi,
This is an edited IRC excerpt from #ubuntu-devel discussing various
component mismatches related to lpia:
09:52 < lool> slangasek: w00t; we have a component mismatch issue with
lrm-2.6.24-15 on lpia; it's in multiverse while linux-lpia and
linux-restricted-modules-lpia pull it
09:52 < lool> slangasek: Could you please promote it to restricted?
09:53 < slangasek> lool: hrm, I just saw that myself and demoted those packages
to multiverse; all of the lpia kernel packages have been in universe/multiverse
up until now, is
that intended to change?
09:53 < slangasek> (I assumed that the linux-meta packages being in
restricted/main was a mistake, but ICBW)
09:54 < StevenK> Personally, I think -lpia should be in main/restricted, and
-lpiacompat in universe/multiverse.
09:54 < StevenK> But that's me
09:54 < lool> slangasek: Ok; we (at least I) usually don't include multiverse
in many of our configs such as pbuilder, virtual machines, moblin-image-creator
runs, so I
personally see that it will cause me some work to fix this, but I
understand why it should go to multiverse
09:54 < lool> StevenK: What would be the rationale?
09:55 < slangasek> lool: well, it would be inconsistent to have the lrm
packages in restricted but the other packages all in universe, which is where
they've been up until now
09:55 < StevenK> lool: "Gut feeling" :-)
09:55 < lool> slangasek: However, all of this is in lpia which is a
non-official arch, so I wonder whether it makes sense to repeat the fact that
it's not supported by moving
things to multiverse while we could keep them in restricted and
decide to promote the arch to supported with less efforts
09:56 < lool> slangasek: Not sure we should judge on history, it might well be
a long time error
09:56 < slangasek> lool: hey, I just put the packages in the component pitti
tells me to :)
09:56 < slangasek> (or doko)
09:56 < StevenK> Ahhh, so pitti is the man behind the curtain!
09:57 < lool> I personally lived without multiverse most of the time until now,
and I'm happy that it's not "reachable" from my apt-get installs
...
10:00 < lool> Hmm where's the installability report
10:00 < slangasek> lool:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing-ports/hardy_probs.html ?
10:01 < slangasek> but then, that gives you ports but not universe :)
10:01 < lool> slangasek: See how evil it is to need *verse! ;)
10:02 < lool> slangasek: Ok; so you say you fixed the linux-meta tree in this
report for lpia?
10:02 < lool> I guess I'll only see this in a couple of hours
10:03 < slangasek> I hadn't seen/done lbm yet
10:03 < slangasek> but linux-image* and lrm should now be consistently in the
same component
10:04 < lool> slangasek: But what about linux-lpia?
10:04 < slangasek> yes, linux-lpia as well
10:04 < lool> Ok, thanks
10:06 < slangasek> heh, I can't fix linux-backports-modules-hardy without
demoting it on all archs... I think we should plan to promote the lpia linux
packages to
main/restricted at some point...
10:07 < lool> slangasek: Who should we discuss that with?
10:07 < slangasek> lool: pitti or doko, I think
Could you please look into promoting everything to restricted if that's
acceptable (my preferred option); otherwise, please demote to multiverse
what needs be.
Bye,
