Thanks for doing all this work. I have just sent it to experimental. I did some reviewing and diffing. I have some comments, or, at least, things I noticed. None of them were IMO blockers for experimental.

Hi Ian, after our conversation on IRC in #debian-xen today, I updated the packaging to the latest 4.10-stable commit (since there's no 4.10.1 release yet) and smoke-tested the package on a testing/unstable dom0 running a PVHv2 guest. Can you please review and sponsor the upload of a first Xen 4.10 package to Debian unstable? The work which has been done to arrive at this point from the

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: 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).

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'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.

Package: src:xen Version: 4.11.1-1 Currently, these are rdepends: -$ apt-cache rdepends libxenmisc4.11 libxenmisc4.11 Reverse Depends: libxen-dev xen-utils-4.11 collectd qemu-system-x86 libvirt-daemon collectd-core It's on the wishlist to start doing buster-backports for Xen. If the user has a cluster of servers and can make use of live migrate, then this allows the user to

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

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:

Apparently there is a php 7.4 configuration missing.? This is bindings 1.4.17 running on a Mint 20 system. I see this in the config output: cpython-38.opt-1.pyc checking for php-config7.3... no checking for php-config7.2... no checking for php-config7.1... no checking for php-config7.0... no checking for php-config... no It didn't look for 7.4. Thanks, Jim.

Thanks a lot for doing the above writeup. Great, thanks. (I hope it's OK that I have snipped most of your responses to the discussion,

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

Initially out there as #965245. I strongly prefer to build ARM64 packages on non-ARM systems. Something about my main build machine having twice the cores and twice the clock speed. As such after many builds I've managed to generate a set of patches which appear to mostly function to get functioning cross-builds of Xen. These are NOT a 100% solution. Some packaging hacks were needed. In

Hi! I'm trying to find where various components of samba belongs to and where they're used. There are quite a few files with unknown purpose. For example, a cpython library (python code which is to be linked to from a C program) libsamba-policy. On current debian it is like: usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsamba-policy.cpython-311-x86-64-linux-gnu.so.0.0.1
