13:48 <slashd> Hi SRU vanguard, could you please nominate LP: #1628279 affecting Xenial ?
13:48 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1628279 in zfs-linux (Ubuntu) "python utilities script suffix (.py) should be removed as per Policy 10.4" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1628279 13:48 <apw> slashd, done 13:49 <slashd> apw, tks 14:00 <rbasak> slashd: won't that regress Xenial users by definition? 14:01 <apw> yep, looks like it will ... perhaps we should be offering them under both names in this 14:02 <rbasak> Yeah, adding symlinks makes sense. Then users can rely on the new names, but users relying on the old names won't break before a release upgrade. 14:02 <apw> rbasak, perhaps copy that into the bug, i do not believe they have done the work on teh sru yet 14:02 <rbasak> Will do -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628279 Title: python utilities script suffix (.py) should be removed as per Policy 10.4 Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] The zfs utilities scripts shipped with debian and ubuntu such as : * arc_summary.py : Provides a summary of the statistics * arcstat.py : Print out ZFS ARC Statistics exported via kstat(1) * dbufstat.py : Print out statistics for all cached dmu buffers should be renamed according to Policy 10.4 : https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts "When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it." Ideally, this should be fixed and upstreamed to Debian (or to zfslinux upstream) as well. [Test Case] * Install zfsutils-linux * List files $ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep "arc|dbufstat" /usr/sbin/arc_summary.py /usr/sbin/arcstat.py /usr/sbin/dbufstat.py [Regression Potential] * none expected, this is a trivial change that simply rename the scripts to remove the extension (.py) with a simple 'mv' before the dh_install invocation in order to get this expected result : $ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep -i "arc|dbuf" /usr/sbin/arc_summary /usr/sbin/arcstat /usr/sbin/dbufstat [Other Info] * Justification/argument for Xenial https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/13 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/14 * Upstream (ZoL) is reluctant to change it at upstream code level. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/comments/2 * This has been flag by Adam Conrad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1574342/comments/19 * Debian policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1628279/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
