Univention Bugzilla – Bug 57427
Linux kernel 4.19 not covered by Debian Buster ELTS - switch to linux-5.10
Last modified: 2024-07-11 12:39:59 CEST
UCS 5.0 currently runs with linux 4.19 by default: univention-role-server-common depends on linux-image-amd64 and that currently depends on linux-image-4.19.0-27-amd64. Debian Buster ELTS only covers linux-5.10, so we switch to that by letting univention-role-server-common depend on linux-image-5.10-amd64 instead.
Since we don't get any udeb packages for this backport-kernel we will not be able to ship an iso that directly boots the new kernel. If we build a new iso, it will probably put the new version of the deb package univention-role-server-common into the path /var/cache/univention-system-setup/packages/ on the iso. In that case we would need to put the backport kernel packages on the iso too. We'll need to see how repo-ng behaves in that respect. We need to check/ensure that all binary packages generated from linux-5.10 are recognized as maintained.
repo ucs branch 5.0-8: 56d6027f04 | Switch to linux-image-5.10-amd64 Package: univention-server Version: 15.0.10-2 Branch: 5.0-0 Scope: errata5.0-8 repo ucs-maintained: 8ce699b | Add linux 5.10 source packages to maintained I've rebuilt the iso image to check that * It still uses linux 4.19 for installation * It has the new version of univention-role-server-common and linux-image-5.10* deb packages in /var/cache/univention-system-setup/packages The univention-errata-level/maintained-packages.txt list (which is the basis for the univention-list-installed-unmaintained-packages script) should get updated automatically during errata release.
OK: Secure boot OK: New kernel installed after initial DVD system setup OK: Old kernel is still used for building the DVD OK: Jenkins OK: New dependency to univention-server OK: univention-updater univention-prune-kernels was adjusted so that it keeps both the old 4.19 and the new 5.10 kernel OK: The new linux kernel is regarded "maintained" by our tools Verified
