similar to: Bug#587305: libxen-dev doesn't ship blktaplib.h anymore

While attempting to troubleshoot a problem with PCI passthrough, I noticed a number of facts that, when considered together, may indicate a serious upgrade path issue with regard to Xen and QEMU: 1. libxen-dev is a single package with two versions: a 4.8 version and a 4.11 version 2. libxen-dev version 4.8 produces libraries with 4.8 in the soname. A qemu compiled against this version has

Package: libxen-4.2 Version: 4.2.0-1 Severity: normal Hello, in xen 4.1 Debian packagers removed blktap uselessly as is documenteted in the blktap bug. in xen 4.2 qemu-dm is removed. This removes any reasonable way to access disks and reserves Debian Xen for diskless DomU use. Essentially Debian Xen packages are now useless. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers

The following set of patches package up the ocaml libraries that are part of the standard xen build. The patches are also currently available at: https://github.com/jonludlam/pkg-xen/commits/for-debian There are some things to note: 1. The 5 patches imported from xen-unstable are not, and will not go into the xen-4.1-stable series. However, the patches were created at the request of the

Package: libxen-dev Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, I want to make some fine monitoring of my xen machines and the xentop utility does not exactly fits my needs I saw in the sources that it uses some kind of library named libxenstat wich seems very acurate. This library is already built to make the xentop utility but the debian package does not makes it available as

This is an update to the patches sent out on 25th October. I expect, as before, that some of the larger patches won't get to the list so they are also available here: https://github.com/jonludlam/pkg-xen/commits/for-debian6. Changes since last mail: * I have split out the unrelated change to include 2 extra header files in libxen-dev * I have removed some instances of brace expansion

Hi, This email is mainly addressed at Waldi (Bastian Blank). I'm resending it since the previous one is waiting for approval due to its size being bigger than 40k (I compressed the .diff this time, so it should be ok). I have worked on enhancing the current packaging of Xen 4.1.1 over the last weeks. The main goal was to package the OCaml libraries of Xen as separated binary packages, and

Hi Waldi, please consider the patch from: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-xen-devel/2007-November/001516.html it simply adds the missing headers to the current Xen packages. This would help us along until we have a libxen* and libxen*-dev packages to get Xen support into libvirt. I'll take care of (potential) abi breackage in the libvirt package. Cheers, -- Guido

Hi, Since Xen has been around for a long long time, and that libxs is pretty new in Debian (only few days), I'd say that libxs-dev should be fixed. Do you agree? Cheers, Thomas

All, I am making a first pass at using the C bindings of the Xen-API for a test application, and am running into some confusion on the proper use of the API. I am modeling some of my development around the test code in tools/libxen/test/test_bindings.c However, some things are not clear to me, and the API documentation seems to be more of a function reference, than documenting the intended
