Pkg xen devel - Apr 2012 - Migration issue because of openvswitch...

Hello,

Currently, react (19 days old), xmlm (17 days) and xen-api (11 days) are
stuck in unstable. One reason is the following: xen-api depends on xmlm
and they must go together, and xen-api depends on (a new binary package
of) openvswitch, which FTBFS (and has been for > 32 days).

Is there anyone working on fixing openvswitch? Or can the dependency in
xen-api be dropped, and reintroduced later, when openvswitch works and
has migrated to testing?


Cheers,

Sorry, I managed to miss this FTBFS situation.

Is this the right place to be looking for the build logs?
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openvswitch

It seems that an sparc at least there is a problem in the test suite

Unfortuantely I have run out of today, but I'll take a look tomorrow
if no one else has.

I hadn't noticed that Open vSwitch had FTBFS (it seems that I'd failed
to subscribe to it in the PTS).

I'm looking at it now.
