[Bug 213810] [NEW] Promotion of linux-backports-modules-hardy and linux-*-{lpia, lpiacompat} to restricted (from multiverse)

[Loïc Minier]

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,
