Merge lp:~swem/ubuntu/trusty/lshw/lp1471983 into lp:ubuntu/trusty-proposed/lshw

[Chen-Han Hsiao (Stanley)]

For bug 1471983, I also encounter this issue in Ubuntu OEM project.

This bug is fixed in https://github.com/lyonel/lshw/commit/d048d300b5daeb44887a7fc06ddeb120119cac8a

The issue in upstream: [lshw segfaults, with some 16GB USB-3 sticks from Patriot] http://www.ezix.org/project/ticket/653

I've made a patch to fix it.

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

Hi, thanks for the debdiff!

Two comments:

1- Could you please list both patches in the changelog along with a small description of what they accomplish?
2- While the "use-a-different-approach-for-scanning-SCSI-generic-d.patch" change seems to be included in 2.17 currently in vivid and wily, the "presumably-fix-653.patch" change is not. Could you please prepare debdiffs for Vivid and Wily?

Thanks!

review: Needs Fixing

[Chen-Han Hsiao (Stanley) (swem)]

@mdeslaur, thanks for review.

1. There are two patches added. I would add this description to changelog.

   [d048d30] presumably-fix-653.patch is for this segmentation fault issue.

   [b79f299] use-a-different-approach-for-scanning-SCSI-generic-d.patch use different approach to scan scsi devices to cover general devices. The functionality is the same. This patch need to be applied before d048d30.

2. I will add debdiff for vivid and wily
