| zx2c4 | apw: hey | 14:08 |
|---|---|---|
| zx2c4 | so wireguard is approaching upstreaming pretty soon | 14:08 |
| zx2c4 | will try to get the transition as smooth as possible for packaging | 14:09 |
| zx2c4 | know which kernel 20.04 plans to ship with? | 14:09 |
| sixwheeledbeast | It's too early to say but I imagine the next 5.x long term. | 14:13 |
| apw | zx2c4, most likel 5.4 | 14:26 |
| zx2c4 | apw: oh 5.4 is easy peasy, cool | 14:32 |
| zx2c4 | Latest snapshot supports that | 14:32 |
| zx2c4 | (0.0.20191205) | 14:32 |
| apw | zx2c4, when is it likely to merge, 5.5 ? | 14:37 |
| sixwheeledbeast | 5.4 is currently listed as EOL in 2021. I would expect with 20.04 being an LTS they would want a LTS kernel. | 14:44 |
| apw | sixwheeledbeast, we are told it will be the upstream LTS | 14:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Oh np | 14:44 |
| zx2c4 | apw: 5.6, unless linus steps in for a 5.5 miracle | 14:50 |
| apw | zx2c4, nice; pretty quick by upstream standards | 14:52 |
| apw | and not sooo far away that we couldn't backport it most likely | 14:52 |
| zx2c4 | apw: indeed, ive already done the work :) | 14:53 |
| zx2c4 | I can have a patch ready for any kernel you need | 14:54 |
| zx2c4 | apw: actually, the current patch set that's going to LKML for 5.6 actually applies over 5.5 | 15:51 |
| zx2c4 | (since there's no 5.6 yet) | 15:51 |
| zx2c4 | https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zx2c4/linux.git/patch/?id=790fb3caff5cbe57f5cacc51e9736e0cdc6261c2 | 15:52 |
| zx2c4 | and then ive backported from there to 5.4-->3.10 | 15:52 |
| zx2c4 | so whenever you guys settle on a version for 20.04, let me know and ill prepare a clean patch for that | 15:53 |
| apw | zx2c4, nice, if you have a 5.4 lying about you could point me at it | 15:53 |
| apw | zx2c4, or that; there is a version coming based on 5.4 final, would be in our unstable repo right now | 15:53 |
| zx2c4 | https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/tree/ that's this repo | 15:53 |
| zx2c4 | it uses a "compat.h" horror show to dynamically patch based on the version | 15:54 |
| zx2c4 | _however_, | 15:54 |
| zx2c4 | for the ubuntu kernel, i'm happy to make a single coherent patch that inlines all the compat hacks | 15:54 |
| zx2c4 | kerneltoast is pretty familiar with the compat.h stuff, iirc | 15:54 |
| apw | zx2c4, we'll have a think about what makes most sense | 15:54 |
| apw | as to some degree it is sensiuble to have what you are supporting | 15:55 |
| zx2c4 | apw: in other words, what im proposing is thta i give you a 5.4 patch that looks identical to the 5.5 patch above in that it's a single straight forward thing that doesnt touch much | 15:55 |
| apw | that sounds appealing indeed | 15:56 |
| zx2c4 | apw: cool well, just send me a link to whatever tree when you're ready and ill do that | 15:56 |
