  • xen-tools (4.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release.
    
        [ Marc Bigler ]
        + Add support for ZFS volumes. (GH #50)
    
        [ Yuri Sakhno ]
        + Eliminate progress reporting which is useless in logs. (GH #42)
    
        [ Axel Beckert ]
        + Add preliminary support for future Debian 12 Bookworm release.
        + Add support for Ubuntu releases from 17.10 Artful to 19.04 Disco.
          - Create hooks/artful with new 40-setup-networking-deb-netplan by
            Arno Bakker and Peter. (Fixes xen-tools/xen-tools#51)
          - Rename hooks/karmic/80-install-kernel to
            hooks/common/80-install-kernel-ubu and add according symlinks.
        + Change all occurrences of httpredir.debian.org to deb.debian.org
          except those for the debian-archive. The latter now point to
          archive.debian.org directly.
        + Set Ubuntu fallback suite to the latest LTS, i.e. 18.04 Bionic.
        + Drop pygrub path detection from xm.tmpl, Xen prefers a path-less
          bootloader='pygrub'.
        + Many improvements for the release-testing script.
        + Only run xen-toolstack helper script if both, xm and xl are
          present. Avoids warning about deprecated helper script.
        + distributions.conf now supports arbitrary keyring files in
          /usr/share/keyrings/. (Needed for some EoL Ubuntu releases.)
    
        [ Nico Boehr ]
        + Add support for LVM thin provisioning.
    
        [ Pietro Stäheli ]
        + Add support for option --randommac for really random MAC addresses
          upon every xen-create-image invocation. (Closes: #855703)
    
      [ Axel Beckert ]
      * Fix wrong bug number for #849867 in previous changelog entry.
      * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.3.
        + Change Priority from extra to optional.
      * Use "$(MAKE)" instead of "make" in debian/rules.
      * debian/control: Drop "Testsuite: autopkgtest" header, no more needed.
      * Switch "activate" trigger to "activate-noawait".
      * Recommend e2fsprogs. (Closes: #887236)
      * Prefer btrfs-progs over now transitional package btrfs-tools. (Closes:
        #878910)
      * Bump debhelper compatibility level to 10.
        + Update versioned debhelper build-dependency accordingly.
        + Only using dh compat level 10 allows one to still build the package
          on Debian 9 Stretch without backports, on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and on
          Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with backports.
      * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.3.0. (No changes needed.)
      * Set "Rules-Requires-Root: no".
      * Check $DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and $DEB_BUILD_PROFILES in
        override_dh_auto_test. Fixes according lintian warning.
      * Use ubuntu-keyring instead of now transitional ubuntu-archive-keyring,
        but keep the latter as alternative to allow one to install the
        xen-tools package also on older Debian or Ubuntu releases.
      * Suggest grub-xen-host despite the proper support for it is not
        finished.
      * Add a note about "vsyscall=emulate" and older Linux distributions to
        debian/NEWS. Thanks to James Clarke and Jason Crain for the hint!
      * Add a DEP-12 debian/upstream/metadata file.
    
      [ Jelmer Vernooij ]
      * Trim trailing whitespace from debian/changelog. (GH #54)
