Package: xen-tools Version: 4.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: lenny patch Small changes needed to install squeeze in lenny's dom0.
/usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/20-setup-apt - append case for squeeze where already is for lenny /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf -- append squeeze s supported distribution via Debootstrap. In directory /usr/lib/xen-tools create symlink squeeze.d to debian.d Of course there are some drawbacks of using xen-tools from lenny to install squeeze. For example one cannot use ext4 due to the lack of ext4 in 2.6.26 kernel. (other parameters, like disk/swap sizes in xen-tools.conf are more than sufficient to install squeeze, so do not need to be changed.) Support for this will not only allow easier testing, but also allow for smoother transition when upgrading large xen installations (sometimes it is better to reinstall domU, than perform dist-upgrade inside it). After xen-create ends, one only needs to eventually check if kernel is available outside of domU. This can be done using pygrub or by just installing (or safer extracting) squeeze xen kernel in lenny. I tested this changes and they works perfectly :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-05668-g4162cf6 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.utf8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xen-tools depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.26 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii libconfig-inifiles-perl 2.58-1 Read .ini-style configuration file ii libfile-slurp-perl 9999.13-1 single call read & write file rout ii libtext-template-perl 1.45-2 Text::Template perl module ii perl-modules 5.10.1-17 Core Perl modules Versions of packages xen-tools recommends: ii libexpect-perl 1.21-1 Expect.pm - Perl Expect interface ii rinse 1.7-1 RPM installation environment ii xen-hypervisor-4.0-i386 [xen- 4.0.1-1 The Xen Hypervisor on i386 ii xen-shell 1.9-1 Console based Xen administration u Versions of packages xen-tools suggests: ii btrfs-tools 0.19+20100601-3 Checksumming Copy on Write Filesys pn cfengine2 <none> (no description available) pn evms-cli <none> (no description available) ii reiserfsprogs 1:3.6.21-1 User-level tools for ReiserFS file ii xen-utils-4.0 [xen-utils 4.0.1-1 XEN administrative tools ii xfsprogs 3.1.4 Utilities for managing the XFS fil -- Configuration Files: /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
