Pkg xen devel - Jan 2019 - Bug#862408: Xen should trigger reboot-required notification on hypervisor upgrade

Source: xen
Package: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64
Version:  4.4.1-9+deb8u8

When the xen hypervisor is updated there's no specific indication that the
system should be rebooted whereas this is as important to notify as a
kernel upgrade.

 I suggest the xen-hypervisor*.postinst calls :
/usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required

 Thanks,
S?bastien

reassign 862408 src:xen 4.4.1-9+deb8u8
tags 862408 + wishlist
thanks

Hi Sébastien,

I'm hunting down old bug reports in the Xen packages, and also ran into
this one:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862408

I see why your suggestion would be a nice feature.

Just to set expectations, adding it would require a user who is actually
using Xen together with a gnome desktop to actively participate in
figuring out how this should happen, and do upgrade and reboot testing etc.

I had a quick look at update-notifier and it seems there are more ways
to do the same and it's already deprecated, and...

So, I'm moving it to the wishlist category now.

Thanks,
Hans
