...First of all, there's a difference between a rump kernel (driver bundle built out of unmodified kernel components) and any unikernel you construct out of rump kernels ... sort of like how there's a difference between Linux and GNU/Linux. For unikernels, the rump kernel project provides Rumprun, which can provide you with a near-full POSIX'y interface. Rumprun also provides toolchain wrappers so that you can compile existing programs as Rumprun unikernels. Rumprun also recently regrew the ability to run without the POSIX'y bits; some people found it important to be able to m...

Xen upstream BoF ================ We had a discussion around Xen and packaging at Debian's annual developer conference (Debconf) a few weeks back: https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/279/xen-upstream-bof/ These are my notes, I think there is probably stuff of interest to most distro people, not just Debian folks. The session was scheduled in a small, out of the way, room. Around 2
