For additional hardware support, modemmanager needs to be upgraded to 1.10 on Bionic

Added tasks for libmbim and libqmi as their current versions are needed by ModemManeger 1.10.

debdiff for modemmanager 1.10 in Bionic. The upstream source tarball is the same as for Disco.

debdiff for libmbim 1.18.0 in Bionic. The upstream source tarball is the same as for Disco.

debdiff for libqmi 1.22.0 in Bionic. The upstream source tarball is the same as for Disco.

I have made Bionic packages for ModemManager 1.10 and the needed libraries now. I have attached the debdiffs and the upstream tarballs are the same as of the Disco packages.

Ken, could you upload these packages for me.

Alex, if we need to go through the SRU process (is this needed for hardware enablement), could you add the info about impact, reproducer, regression potential, ...

Replacement for the debdiff for libqmi 1.22.0 in Bionic.

This debdiff also contains the most recent fixes In Debian and in Disco (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libqmi/1.22.0-1.2):

----------
libqmi (1.22.0-1.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add debian/patches/git_reset-offset-before-2nd-call.patch from upstream.
    - equivalent to 1.22.2 release except the broken manpages in that release.

libqmi (1.22.0-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload
  * Bump Build-Depends on libmbim-glib-dev to 1.18.0 to fix build
    (Closes: #921321)

The patch solves a regression from 1.10 which made some modems not work.

Yuan-Chen, Alex: I have finished to prepare the three needed packages, including a fix on libqmi coming in yesterday. Now I am simply waiting for the upload of the packages getting sponsored (probably by Ken VanDine) and the SRU team putting the packages into bionic-proposed.

Feel free to add anything relevant for testing the package to the description of this bug report.

The libqmi debdiff doesn't include the latest version that's in bionic (1.18.0-3ubuntu1) in the changelog and it also reverts the change in that version. Please ensure the debdiff is against that version.

The libmbim debdiff doesn't include the latest version that's in bionic (1.14.2-2.1ubuntu1) in the changelog and it also reverts the change in that version. Please ensure the debdiff is against that version.

Fixed libqmi package.

Fixed libmbim package.

Fixed modemmanager package.

Hello, I'm probably impacted by this bug here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1821052

So I post a comment to subscribe to this thread.

@Till, Add DW5821 which also need new mm to support. I'll test both here as it hit the proposed channel.

I've sponsored these packages
