[Bug 1944741] Re: HiFive Unmatched partitions are named "Unleashed"

Fri Oct 15 16:35:36 UTC 2021

Hello Alexandre, or anyone else affected,

Accepted util-linux into impish-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-
linux/2.36.1-8ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
impish to verification-done-impish. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-impish. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  HiFive Unmatched partitions are named "Unleashed"

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in util-linux source package in Impish:
  Fix Committed
Status in util-linux package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]                                                                         

  Both HiFive Unleashed and HiFive Unmatched bootloaders seek for the same         
  UUIDs to load the next stage bootloader: the current name makes partitions       
  on Unmatched board appear as 'Unleashed'.                                        

  This issue gives the feeling that the Ubuntu RISC-V images made specifically     
  for those 2 boards were assembled in a rushed manner.                            

  The attached patch fixes this by removing the 'Unleashed' part of the current    
  name so that it fits both, it was build againt all architectures here:

  [Where problems could occur]                                                     

  We may expect regressions if one uses fdisk output (ie the partition names       
  instead of the UUIDs) in her software: this risk is mitigated by the fact the    
  upstream accepted the patch and then does not expect this interface to be        
  immutable and that RISC-V is not widely used yet.                                

  [Other Info]                                                                     

  None.                                                                            

  === old bug description ===                                                      
  Both HiFive Unleashed and HiFive Unmatched bootloaders seek for the same         
  UUIDs to load the next stage bootloader: the current name makes partitions       
  on Unmatched board appear as 'Unleashed'.                                        

  Fix that by removing the 'Unleashed' part of the current name so that it         
  fits both.                                                                       

  The attached debdiff contains the patch that was merged upstream (https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/10fd91d389497d8be435cc66abbdeb2eb6ea2f07).
