Subject: ITP: xen-tools -- Tools to manage Xen virtual servers

Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:25:07 +0100 (CET)

Package: wnpp
Owner: Axel Beckert <abe@deuxchevaux.org>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : xen-tools
  Version         : 4.1
  Upstream Author : originally Steve Kemp
* URL or Web page : http://www.xen-tools.org/
* License         : GPL1+, Artistic License
  Description     : Tools to manage Xen virtual servers

Since I didn't notice in time that xen-tools has been removed from
unstable[1] and testing, this is an ITP instead of the ITA which it
would have been otherwise.

  [1] http://bugs.debian.org/561667

I don't think it's obsolete yet -- at least not until xen Dom0 support
itself has been removed from Debian. Which is currently estimated to
be the case after squeeze unless Xen dom0 support gets into mainline.

I know that upstream stopped development since Steve doesn't use
xen-tools (nor xen) anymore.

So I'm currently evaluating how much work it would be to get xen-tools
back in shape for sid and possibly squeeze (partially by doing some of
that work of course :-) -- including looking through all previously
open bug reports and taking over upstream development.

So if anyone else wants xen-tools in squeeze (or for how long Xen will
be available in Debian) please get in contact with me. I'm happy about
any further helping hands to join the effort.

		Regards, Axel

  FWIW I support this ITP.

  I will be happy to "give away" the code - such that this fork
 becomes official, and all existing references to the project point
 there.

   * New upstream beta version

     - Supports for more recent versions of Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian

     - Uses hvc0 and xvda devices by default
     - Sets umask to 0077 before creating disk images (Closes: #548909)
     - Makes sure, MAKEDEV is found in either /dev/ or /sbin/
       (Closes: #502798, #515228)
     - Changed rinse path to /usr/sbin/. (Closes: #511211)
     - Doesn't delete configuration file if it already exists when
       xen-create-image is run. (Closes: #520177)
     - Doesn't write the FQDN into /etc/hostname (Closes: #492583)
     - Dereferences pointers before hashing them to generate a MAC
       address. (Closes: #547265)
     - Calls pwconv and grpconv inside chroot when installing Fedora
       (Closes: #499476)
     - Fixed typo in /usr/lib/xen-tools/*.d/75-fixup-securetty
       (Closes: #503339)
     - Makes better decisions about when to enable Debian security updates
       in the created DomU (LP: #309750)
     - Installs dhclient for CentOS and Fedora if DHCP networking is
       requested (LP: #241446)
     - Fixes some bashisms (Closes: #530226)
       * [^y] → [!y] (Thanks to Mathieu Parent!)
       * kill -HUP → kill -s HUP (found by checkbashism)
       * ${parm/?/pat[/str]} → echo | sed
       * echo -e → printf
       * read → read dummy
     - xt-install-image now exits with return value 127 instead of 0 to
       indicate errors on running the command given in --install-method.
       (Closes: #534290)
     - The debootstrap command now also can be configured on the
       commandline with --debootstrap-cmd in xen-create-image and
       xt-install-image (Enhances fix for #436480 which added the
       debootstrap-cmd config file option)
     - Checks for debootstrap and cdebootstrap, uses debootstrap if both
       are installed (Changed "Depends: debootstrap" to "Depends:
       debootstrap | cdebootstrap" in debian/control)
     - Added new files TODO and KNOWN_BUGS to debian/docs.
   * Removal of /etc/bash_completion.d/xm from the package since
     bash-completion ships a more elaborate version of that file. (Closes:
     #566683, #550590, LP: #538917, #484098)
   * Downgrade reiserfsprogs and xfsprogs to Suggests. (Closes: #561618,
     LP: #80233)
   * Added evms-cli to Suggests. It has been removed from Debian before
     Lenny, but it is necessary for some optional functionality of
     xen-tools. And since some Debian derived distributions (e.g. Ubuntu
     LTS and grml) still support it, it's included for the sake of
     completeness and correctness.
   * Added cfengine2 to Suggests. It is helpful to have it installed when
     using the cfengine2 role.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary)
   * Bump Debhelper Compatibility to 7
     - Replace "dh_clean -k" by "dh_prep"
   * Add Vcs-* headers pointing to new upstream and packaging repository
   * Fix some Lintian warnings:
     - [debian/control]: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends
     - [debian/copyright]: copyright-without-copyright-notice
     - [debian/source/format]: missing-debian-source-format
   * Added a README.source explaining how to build xen-tools directly from
     the Git repository.
   * Overhauled package description
