grexk: thanks for the patch. A few nits for future reference: - LP closers are generally of the form (LP: #nnnnnn) - you didn't have the hash - It looks like you added a superfluous line to set SRC_VERSION in debian/rules - Your version number was appropriate for a PPA upload, but not for uploading to Ubuntu. There's some discussion of version numbering schemes at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#Working%20with%20Ubuntu%20Packages>
Of course, packages that support building kernel modules with module- assistant are special. For those packages, it's necessary to use +ubuntu1 instead of just ubuntu1 in order to avoid version sorting issues. I've combined grexk's patch with my patch for bug #391224 with the recommendations on using dkms in bug #497149. I've uploaded a test build to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests), and I'm attaching the resulting debdiff. I'm going to do some testing to make sure everything's in order, and hopefully I'll be able to upload tonight or tomorrow. ** Attachment added: "open-vm-tools_2009.11.16-210370-1+ubuntu1.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36960306/open-vm-tools_2009.11.16-210370-1%2Bubuntu1.debdiff -- should build kernel modules with dkms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277556 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
