similar to: Entirely new Xen packaging

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.

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

The latest upstream release (4.19) will get security support until 2027-07-29. I believe it would

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,

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.

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

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

Package: xen-utils-4.11 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, We have discovered that the `pygrub` binaries, expected under `/usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin`, are no longer present in the xen-utils-4.11 package. Reviewing the source package reveals that the binary is still present under `tools/pygrub/src/pygrub`, however it is not referenced anywhere obvious in the package build configurations, nor is

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! I was running lintian on our package... Among the copious errors and warnings there are: W: xen-utils: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/xm.1.gz 668: warning: can't find numbered character 160 Should we try to fix this, perhaps?

FYI I will have an upload ready RSN. Where should I send it ? Matthew Vernon has offered to test my amd64 binaries. I will test the i386 packages myself. Ian.

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
