Pkg xen devel - Mar 2011 - Bug 591456 - script hotplugpath.sh is missing

Hello List,

why is the Bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591456
not fixed yet? It was already reported back in 2010 and a patch was
already supplied, too.

Is this a bigger deal?

Thanks,
Mario

Probably because Debian Xen mantainer doesn't care. There is no blktap2
support in debian because of licensing issues, solved since a lot of
time. There isn't also pvgrub support. There wasn't hvm support too, now
landed thanks to a new developer. Xen networking is broken because of
that bug, I applied that patch and it works now but they don't seem to
care to apply it or to tell why don't. The only thing I can do is send
you an updated package (but I'm starting to think about opening a 3rd
party xen repository).

Cheers,
