[10:40] <rbasak> It's been a while since I've seen a DKMS build failure presumably (not verified) due to kernel package changes or HWE kernels or suchlike.
[10:41] <rbasak> bug 1783085
[10:41] <ubot5`> bug 1783085 in open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) "open-vm-tools-dkms 2:10.0.7-3227872-5ubuntu1~16.04.2: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer_deferrable’]" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1783085
[10:41] <rbasak> How are these handled nowadays?
[10:42] <apw> rbasak, they shoud be being caught in ADT and preventing our kernels releasing in principle
[10:43] <apw> smb, ^
[12:14] <smb> apw, rbasak, they normally should, have not yet looked at the matrix to verify, though. There is only one drawback which is new kernel versions becoming hwe(-edge). But from the mentioned version this is xenial which should not change that much
[12:29] <smb> apw, so I looked at the adt page, the bug report is about hwe (4.15) kernel and those, and the adt matrix has neutral and fail which means likely it never worked since we got the 4.15 in xenial and as usual we have too much on our plates to get it all done
[12:30] <apw> if it has never worked with hwe, that is a thing at least; meaning we might not have intended to make it work
[12:41] <smb> apw, yeah, well we may have had good intentions...
[12:41] <smb> just practically ...
[12:43] <rbasak> smb, apw: thank you for looking! How should be triage the bug, set user expectations, etc?
[12:45] <smb> rbasak, not quite sure... sounds like cpaelzer was talking to klebers about the same on a different channel
[12:48] <smb> cpaelzer, I believe you said that open-vm-tools would normally be verified by someone else...
