I'm not sure to understand: why do you want guestfsd? That's one more package, sure, but except from qcow/vmdk images, we can already do what it does. > libsys-virt-perl depends on libvirt-dev while > fuse and febootstrap needs support/workarounds for mount.h As I mentioned in another mail, it'd probably better to make them use file_set_translator, since the parameters will have to be fixed anyway, there is not much benefit in providing an interface which will fail. > As a test I managed to enable libvirt to build by cheating a little when > building dnsmasq-base, installing it and then doing some tweaks to get > libvirt built. It can only be accepted as a bootstrap phase. Packages in the main archive have to be buildable without patches and with the main packages. That is why debian-ports package should only be seen as a way to accelerate package built, but eventually everything has to be accepted in main. > Other missing definitions for dnsmasq are: sockaddr_dl, LLADDR: > sys/if_dl.h and IP_RECVIF: sys/netinet/in.h if BSD network or > IP_PKTINFO: bits/in.h if Linux network. This is not so simple: we can not blindly define them to some random value. We need to take care which value to give to avoid hindering any future implementation. > If the patches from Zheng Da and R Braun are applied, how much work is > still needed to get bps as an integrated part of gnumach/hurd/libc?
