KernelBugMigration
Kernel Bug Migration
Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS release the Ubuntu kernel source package naming convention changed from 'linux-source-2.6.xx' to just 'linux'. Going forward, all kernel bugs will be targeted against the [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/ linux] package. It is important to the Ubuntu QA and Kernel Team that bugs open against older kernels be carried forward. This wiki will document the process that will be followed as this transition is made.
Process
There are thousands of bugs open against older Ubuntu kernels. It will be a time consuming process to move bugs forward manually. A better method would be to automate the process. This can easily be done through the use of a python-launchpad-bugs script. [leann to push plb stock reply script to canonical-qa-tracking to reference here]. The criteria for determining which bugs will be moved forward automatically is as follows:
