Changelog
xen-tools (4.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
+ Fix usage of nonexistent variable in removeDebianPackage (Closes:
#774936) Thanks Lukas Schwaighofer!
+ Change all occurrences of http.debian.net to httpredir.debian.org
+ Ubuntu 12.04 Lucid Lynx and 14.10 Utopic Unicorn now EoL.
+ Preliminary support for Debian 9 Stretch and Ubuntu 15.10 Wily
Werewolf.
+ Installs bash completion into /usr/share/bash-completion/ (fixes
lintian warning package-install-into-obsolete-dir)
+ Allows # within configuration file comments. (Closes: #783060;
thanks Jean-Michel Nirgal Vourgère for the bug report and patch!)
+ Testsuite: Let modules.sh ignore the .git directory. (t/modules.t
failed if a git commit message had a line starting with "use ".)
+ Testsuite: Optimize and clean up modules.sh.
+ Drop all occurrences of apt's --force-yes parameter. It only forces
the installation of untrusted packages and that's unwanted. (Closes:
#776487)
+ Support passing commandline options with --debootstrap-cmd.
+ Use -o APT::Install-Recommends=false instead of
--no-install-recommends for backwards compatibility with older APT
versions which don't know either (but accept any Foo=Bar parameter
to "-o"). Allows one to install earlier Debian releases (e.g. Etch)
with the default configuration again.
+ Use md5 as default hash method again, to be able to properly set
passwords in older releases. Does not affect passwords changed later
inside the DomU.
+ Split off hardcoded release code names list and default mirrors in
xen-create-image into separate configuration file which are parsed
before the default settings or command-line options are set.
+ Pass --yes to lvcreate only if LVM version is 2.02.99 or
higher. Fixes regression introduced with 4.5 by the fix for #754517.
- Add new (build-)dependency on libsort-versions-perl.
+ Report all SSH fingerprints of the created DomU, not only RSA ones.
+ Split up test suite in functionality/compatibility tests (t) and
author/release tests (xt).
+ Make test suite support as-installed-testing
- Mark package as autopkgtestable.
+ Multiple release workflow improvements (target release in Makefile):
- Use TMPDIR instead of TMP for temporary directories.
- Always run the full test suite before doing a release.
- Use maximum compression and don't store time stamps in tar ball.
- Make "release" target to include "orig-tar-gz" and tagging.
+ New option --keyring which is passed through to deboootstrap. Its
default values work around bug #792729 in debootstrap.
+ Supports "unstable", "oldstable" and "oldoldstable" as distribution
names, too. ("oldoldstable" is not yet supported by debootstrap, see
feature request #792734 in debootstrap.)
+ New example script helpful for release testing.
+ Support VLANs with Open vSwitch (GH-2). Thanks to Félix Barbeira
for the patch.
* Update Vcs-* headers and documentation as Gitorious closed its doors
in June 2015 and is now only available with static contents.
* Recommend debian-archive-keyring (for installing Debian DomUs on
derivatives) and ubuntu-archive-keyring (for installing Ubuntu DomUs
on Debian).
* Reduce the list of alternative xen-hypervisor-* packages to just
"xen-hypervisor" which is a virtual package provided by at least all
xen-hypervisor-* packages since Debian 6 Squeeze.
* Recommend lvm2, it's at least required if the --lvm option is used.
* Add an adequate as-installed test to debian/tests/control.
