[08:22] <nils_> I'm trying to figure out how to build the kernel-tools (perf etc.) package for a custom kernel, this doesn't seem to be part of "make deb-pkg"
[11:58] <michael-vb> Hello, Michael from the VirtualBox team here.  Just wondering who is the person who puts our Guest Additions modules into the Ubuntu kernel.  I made a couple of changes today which will affect your script when they are inside a released version.
[11:58] <michael-vb> https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/78446/vbox
[11:58] <michael-vb> https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/78447/vbox
[11:58] <michael-vb> They should be in any future 6.x releases (not 5.x though).
[12:42] <apw> sforshee, cascardo ^
[13:08] <sforshee> michael-vb: thanks, those look like they will be helpful
[13:08] <LocutusOfBorg> sforshee, I'm uploading to Debian/Ubuntu
[13:09] <michael-vb> LocutusOfBorg: wasn't wanting to create more work for you, it will be in the next release anyway.
[13:10] <LocutusOfBorg> its fine :)
[13:10] <LocutusOfBorg> I take ~1minute to do it
[13:25] <LocutusOfBorg> sforshee, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-hwe/6.0.6-dfsg-2ubuntu19.04.1 is it ok to take them from here?
[13:25] <LocutusOfBorg> or here, I reuploaded with eoan versioning scheme https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-hwe/6.0.6-dfsg-2ubuntu19.10.1
[13:26] <LocutusOfBorg> otherwise in 16h you will have the virtualbox syncd automagically :D
[13:26] <michael-vb> Did you add the patch to that build?
[13:28] <sforshee> LocutusOfBorg: the hwe kernel source is identical to the series it is based on, in this case disco, so the update for the hwe kernel would actually be taken from there
[13:28] <sforshee> we don't routinely update the vbox-guest source after release though
[13:29] <sforshee> where we'd be looking to integrate this is in eoan
[13:29] <michael-vb> It is not really the sort of change you want to be doing an update for.
[13:35] <michael-vb> It just means that when you do do an update you need to change your script slightly.
[13:40] <LocutusOfBorg> sforshee, I am targeting eoan, I just put a wrong "19.04" on changelog
[13:41] <sforshee> LocutusOfBorg: ah, ok. Yeah we can update from there once the build is done then
[13:42] <LocutusOfBorg> but its virtualbox-hwe, not virtualbox
[13:42] <LocutusOfBorg> so, maybe your script doesn't download the right deb
[13:42] <sforshee> the part about downloading the deb is manual for now
[13:43] <sforshee> I've actually been looking into changing this to download at build time rather than a manual import, and if we move forward with that it would be a different story. But for now it's ok I believe.
[13:43] <LocutusOfBorg> mmm also paths are different, and filenames...
[13:44] <sforshee> well I can give it a try and see what happens I guess
[13:45] <LocutusOfBorg> better wait for this one probably https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/6.0.6-dfsg-2~build1
[13:45] <sforshee> ok, there's no rush as it will be going into 5.1 which is net yet ready for -proposed
[15:49] <LocutusOfBorg> sforshee, fixed vbox is migrating now in release pocket
[15:49] <LocutusOfBorg> :)
[15:49] <sforshee> LocutusOfBorg: great, thanks!
