Knorrie and I just discussed our plans for sid and buster, on the phone. Here's my notes of the discussion. Plan is to upload Knorrie's 4.11 packages to experimental, to make them more public, while we fix the bugs in them. There's a list of Salsa issues and the BTS bugs list. This duplication is not ideal. We agreed that new things should go to the BTS. For now we'll keep

Hi Ian, can you please review and sponsor the upload of a first Xen 4.10 package to experimental? The work which has been done to arrive at this point from the previous 4.8 packages is visible at: https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/commits/master The only commit which is not in master yet is the actual package release:

Summary: I have tried the packaging-only repo and I really don't like it at all. I don't know how anyone copes with this - such hard work! IMO we should switch to git-debrebase. (As an alternative, if you don't trust git-debrebase because it's my own tool, gbp pq would be better, too, even though it's not as good as git-debrebase.) Particularly, now that we have more people

Package: src:xen Version: 4.8.1~pre.2017.01.23-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, In Xen 4.8 it is possible to enable OVMF without the need for any OVMF code or binary to be on the system. Currently, OVMF is not enabled, probably because it used to require OVMF at compile time which would make for a hard dependency on non-free code. Since this is no longer the case, you could make it a

I'm just dumping all I got in here, after initial feedback we can see how to organize todo's around it. tl;dr: * Does not upgrade cleanly from 4.8 packages, so we have to prevent this from entering testing until we fix that. * Live migration is broken, explodes with memory allocation errors. ---- >8 ---- 1. Build packages * I have built salsa/master using pbuilder targeting sid.

Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u1 Severity: normal With SE Linux it's desirable to give utilities and daemons the minimum privileges. That includes not permitting general utilities to create directories under /var/run. I think it would be best if /var/run/xen-hotplug was created by an init script such as /etc/init.d/xen (or by systemd-tmpfiles when using systemd units).

Hi all, Thanks for sending this update Hans. I too am interested in helping out with xen packaging. I am trying to dig into the dpkg-shlibdeps issues - I built it successfully on one box but haven?t been able to reproduce. Either way, I will plan to hang around in IRC to help where I can.

Hi Ian, team, In the week of Feb 23 (time flies!:), we had a very productive day \o/ working on the stretch security/stable package and some irc discussions in oftc #debian-xen which ended with an open end. Ian, you were a bit surprised that 1) my debian-xen repo started with an import of a 4.8 package 2) it was not a git-pbuilder style repo with upstream source included, and asked me to at

This is awesome! What needs to be done before this can make it to unstable? I’d love to help if there’s anything I can do.

I have now finished totally rewriting the Xen package in Debian, from scratch. Amazingly as soon as I got a package which was lintian-clean and would install, it worked first time ! I have generated 18 patches to go upstream which I have sent to xen-devel. There are two more, xenstore ABI patches, which need a bit of tidying up. There is still room for improvement but it is now clearly ready

The contents are the wip.testme branch currently on salsa. I combined the wip.initscript and wip.oxenstored into this and added more things today. I think this is pretty gtg and it's smoke tested (in several cases by scping files around instead of doing package build), so it needs a final extra review and test round before putting it in master branch (which I don't want to force push). I
