Thanks for this bug report, it does look like liburing would be worthy of packaging and inclusion in debian and ubuntu, although I don't think it's correct to have this filed against libaio. Instead I'm tagging it as 'needs packaging', per the New Package Policy, which covers this situation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
It sounds like a 0.2 release of liburing is pending, and since FF for eoan has already closed, maybe worth waiting until 0.2 is out: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@vger.kernel.org/msg39689.html Fwiw, there is a RPM package of 0.1 (https://pkgs.org/download/liburing), and from its .spec file the packaging looks super straightforward. Hopefully someone will grab it from the needs-packaging queue soon. Or, if you'd be interested in taking a first crack at the deb packaging, that would certainly be a great way to get this moved forward. ** Tags added: needs-packaging ** Package changed: libaio (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Summary changed: - liburing package missing for >= 5.1 kernels + [needs-packaging] liburing package needed for >= 5.1 kernels -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848013 Title: [needs-packaging] liburing package needed for >= 5.1 kernels Status in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: eoan will ship with a 5.3 kernel and has support for the io_uring interface.
