[Bug 1296305] [NEW] The multipath-tools package in Ubuntu doesn't have the libprioweightedpath.so and the libprioiet.so modules

[Rarylson Freitas]

Public bug reported:

In the multipath-tools upstream, there is a prioritizer called
weightedpath.

See: http://git.opensvc.com/?p=multipath-
tools/.git;a=blob;f=libmultipath/prioritizers/weightedpath.h;h=509f21565d06d8c10a0f0a79756195a5583125d8;hb=HEAD

This prioritizer exists in some distribuction specific pre-compiled
packages too, like in Debian Wheezy.

See: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/multipath-tools/filelist

However, this prioritizer doesn't exist in any Ubuntu version, as we can
see in the following links:

- http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/multipath-tools/filelist
- http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/multipath-tools/filelist

Since this module can be very useful, why don't the Ubuntu maintainers
provide it? Is there any special reason?

----

The Debian package also has the iet prioritizer (file
/lib/multipath/libprioiet.so). This prioritizer may be used to solve
common problems too.

This module doesn't exist in any Ubuntu package too.

----

I created this bug report because someone suggest me in the question
#245910:
