Package: qemu
Version: 1:2.8+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
the branches for Ubuntu in git.debian.org/git/pkg-qemu/qemu.git gathered a
bit
of dust recently. I was taking over the last Ubuntu qemu merge from Serge.
And while Serge always leaves too big footsteps to fill, I still wanted to
update
the branches and feed back delta again.
I don't really want to continue with the ubuntu-dev branch, as for SRU
maintenance I'd prefer per release branches anyway. Also we maintain many
packages now with [1] and matching these I directly rebase onto a matching
debian released version - that also matches better the per release approach
as
it would mean force pushing the ubuntu-dev branch every release (as history
changed to divert from latest Debian release we based on).
So I added a new and up-to-date "ubuntu-zesty-2.8" branch.
Since I was following the process as described in [1] I was able to crate a
huge
list of Deltas that I think could be mergeable in Debian. Most are minor and
where formerly "hidden" in our merge commits (also caused some changelog
cleanup for us).
The changes are of either case:
- a) Ubuntu only fixes that can be hidden under the vendor based
control-in -> control mechanism
- b) Fixes applying to Debian as well (only for those there will be a
debian/changelog entry needed)
Since the ubuntu-zesty-2.8 is available for you as well now this should come
down to evaluating the following list of cherry-picks for acceptance into
latest Debian.
case sha1 summary
a 84dc4d05d3 ubuntu acl fix dependencies changed
a 0d52ac1285 Make qemu-system-common depend on qemu-block-extra
a b24146b825 Make qemu-utils depend on qemu-block-extra
a 5dea4321d9 qemu-efi is in universe
a 4018ada7da no more skip enable libiscsi (now in main)
a fc0aef8d0c let qemu-utils recommend sharutils
b a06832a485 avoid people editing d/control
b 7a257a6a46 Enable seccomp for ppc64el
a 5c4d2d0849 Disable glusterfs (Universe dependency)
b 78aaa8e6b0 char: fix ctrl-a b not working
b 4aa3e058c2 bump libseccomp-dev dependency
I expect you to want to evaluate and pick them individually anyway.
But if you'd prefer me to make a branch with only those changes and a
suggested
debian/changelog that you can "just" merge please let me know.
