[Bug 752429] Re: drbd8-utils dependancy on drbd8-source can't work with maverick & natty kernel backports

[Andres Rodriguez]

Hi Stephane,

Thank you for reporting bus and trying to make Ubuntu Server better.

Starting from maverick, the drbd-source package was dropped due to the
reason you are mentioning above (the drbd kernel module is now in
mainline). Now, I believe that backporting new drbd-utils into lucid is
not an option because that would mean dropping the drbd-source, which
installs the kernel module with DKMS. In case someone installs the
backported drbd on a lucid kernel, then, they won't really have the DRBD
kernel and will make the package useless.

Now, maybe the best approach would be to provide PPA's with drbd8-utils
for those kernels in lucid.

For now I'm marking this bug as Opinion as I'd like to get further input
on this.

Thank you.
