Source: kpatch Version: 0.9.7-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Dimitri John Ledkov <dimitri.led...@canonical.com>, Ubuntu Kernel Team <kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com>, Emmanuel Arias <eam...@debian.org>, 1070...@bugs.debian.org
Dear Dimitri, As mentioned in https://bugs.debian.org/1072932#15, Emmanuel and I are interested in helping to maintain kpatch. It could be very useful in the context of the linux-livepatcing ITP (#1070494). kpatch was removed from unstable on 10 June 2024. As mentioned in #debian-devel, since kpatch is still present in experimental, a regular ITS make sense. Following the ITS process, this is the criteria to aim at salvaging kpatch: * There were four RC bugs before the unstable package was removed. Among those bugs, #1029189 as already been fixed in the wip/debian/0.9.9 branch of https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kpatch. * Upstream has released several versions. The last upload was made to experimental on 2022-11-29. As mentioned above, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kpatch contains a WIP branch that already builds. Test is needed, but we are working on it. Could you please tell us if you agree or object on adding us as co-maintainers?
