[Bug 1206387] Re: openafs-modules-dkms 1.6.1-1+ubuntu0.2: module FTBFS on 3.8.0

[Anders Kaseorg]

Updated backport for saucy’s 1.6.5-1ubuntu3, which adds one patch for
kernel 3.11 support (bug 1222376), so we won’t have to go through this
yet again for the 12.04.4 cycle. No changes to the backport diff itself,
just the debian/changelog context.

Title:
  openafs-modules-dkms 1.6.1-1+ubuntu0.2: module FTBFS on 3.8.0

Status in “openafs” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “openafs” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Since the backported Raring kernel 3.8 was released into Precise and is installed by default, OpenAFS cannot be installed on Precise.  The out-of-tree OpenAFS kernel module needs to be upgraded to support kernel 3.8.

  This happened before for the backported Quantal kernel 3.5 (bug
  1015925), but this time so many patches are needed that it’s less
  risky to take a new upstream stable release, which is already well-
  tested, than to try to decide which patches to cherry-pick.

  [Test Case]
  apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms
  (This should succeed on all supported Precise kernels, 3.2, 3.5, and 3.8.)

  [Regression Potential]
  OpenAFS 1.6.5 has been well-tested in the OpenAFS PPA https://launchpad.net/~openafs/+archive/stable, which has many users at MIT.  The 1.6.x series is focused on important bug fixes and new kernel support (with main development happening on the master branch that will become 1.8.x, and Windows development happening on 1.7.x).
