bug 826265 installed the v4l2loopback-dkms package on the Ubuntu EC2 test slaves. Unfortunately that's a fairly old version, and it seems to have a bug that causes kernel panics in my use case. A newer version is available in newer Ubuntu releases, and since it's a source package it installs and works fine in Ubuntu 12.04 (I tested on my local machine), and it fixes the kernel panic: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/v4l2loopback-dkms If we could install this newer version instead that would be great.

I created a separate repo for the v4l2loopback-dkms package: mkdir -p v4l2loopback/pool/universe/v/v4l2loopback/ wget -O v4l2loopback/pool/universe/v/v4l2loopback/v4l2loopback-dkms_0.6.1-1_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/v4l2loopback/v4l2loopback-dkms_0.6.1-1_all.deb cd v4l2loopback dist=raring for arch in i386 amd64; do mkdir -p "dists/$dist/all/binary-$arch" apt-ftparchive --arch $arch packages . > dists/$dist/all/binary-$arch/Packages bzip2 < dists/$dist/all/binary-$arch/Packages > dists/$dist/all/binary-$arch/Packages.bz2 done Worked fine in staging env.

That doesn't seem like it's going to scale very well. Will we create a distinct repo for every package not in 12.04.01?

Comment on attachment 741332 [details] [diff] [review] puppet Yeah, I can merge the the file and regenerate the index for releng-updates. It was just easier to test this way.

This should be done by now. 0.6.1-1 is the current version.
