[Bug 1354823] Re: FFe: Please merge or sync usb-modeswitch from Debian unstable/testing - current package is obsolete and latest usb-modeswitch-data will not work

 

http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLog

Version 2.2.0, 2014/05/29
  Introduction of parameter "HuaweiNewMode", wrapping the standard bulk
  message for all newer Huawei devices; support for generic fall-back
  config files, combined with OS switch (per vendor ID), implementation
  to use a specific switching command on Android for all Huawei devices (see
  README of data package for details); this change was suggested by Huawei

http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLogData
20140529:
    ATTENTION: requires usb-modeswitch version >= 2.2.0 due to new para-
    meter HuaweiNewMode (further reducing config file size);
    Added devices: Nexperia TM TD-SCDMA, Sunplus SU-3200U, Olivetti
    Olicard 160 and Olicard 500, Ericsson F5521gw, Sony Ericsson EC400,
    Huawei E180, Huawei/Vod. W5101 Router, Huawei E3531, Huawei E3131
    (Variant), Novatel MiFi 4082, Emobile D21LC, Prolink PCM100, Titan 3.5G,
    several nameless ZTE modems, several minor device configuration
    corrections (thanks once again to Lars Melin for the tedious device
    research and compilation!);
    Substantial change in handling of Huawei devices - generic udev rule and
    additional generic configuration files (as fallback for unknown models
    or as OS-specific catch-all); see README for details

Title:
  FFe: Please merge or sync usb-modeswitch from Debian unstable/testing
  - current package is obsolete and latest usb-modeswitch-data will not
  work

Status in “usb-modeswitch” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We believe that usb-modeswitch needs to be synched from Debian again:

  New upstream versions of usb-modeswitch (2.2.0) and usb-modeswitch-
  data (20140529) released 4 months ago and were packaged in Debian
  unstable since June!

  Lots of other Huawei related issues, like bug #1308895, bug #1192297
  and lots of other bugs are fixed in updated usb-modeswitch
  (2.2.0+repack0-2) and usb-modeswitch-data (20140529-1) packages in
  Debian unstable.

  Please merge usb-modeswitch 2.2.0+repack0-2 package from Debian
  unstable to Ubuntu Utopic.

  Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre already did the merging job (see branch
  bellow) - please merge usb-modeswitch 2.2.0+repack0-2 package from
  Debian unstable to Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic).

  Here is usb-modeswitch 2.2.0+repack0-2 packaging code with patches:
