Bug Description

netavark fails to build.

It has a build-dependency on ust-zbus which has been removed.

Unfortunately, rust-zbus is not easily buildable with the current packaged Rust crates, and there is very little time left before Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is finalized.

Therefore, let's revendor netavark.

(This is not that different from what we do with Snapshot where vendoring is required to meet current Main Inclusion policy.)

Also aardvark-dns depends on netavark >= 1.6

This SRU is currently blocked because the update fails to build on ppc64el. There's an issue with the vendored rustix dependency:

error: could not find native static library `rustix_outline_powerpc64`

One way to handle this would be to attempt partial vendoring of only the specific Rust crates we need to bypass the rust-zbus unavailability issue. I don't have experience with partial vendoring yet. But it's been done for qwertone and will probably be done for squeekboard soon.

Changed in netavark (Ubuntu Noble):
