Comment 24 for bug 1021530

A PPC failure would not block publishing of other arches into precise-proposed. In fact, openvswitch failed on PPC for the release as well. Its a "port" architecture so it won't block the release/cause removal if it only FTBFS on PPC.

The package update may have been delayed a bit, but i see openvswitch-datapath-dkms in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-proposed/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz

Ben, we'd love to know what bugs have been fixed in the 1.4 branch and bring them into the distro as updates if they meet our usual criteria for updates. We often import whole upstream patch-only releases, we just ask that either all bugs fixed be documented so we can review the changes and test that the fix works, or that you document your own regression avoidance procedures so we can make a judgement call on whether that meets ubuntu users' needs for stability. If it looks good, we can look at doing a micro release exception for openvswitch.
