xen-tools 4.6.3 (released NOT YET)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
New keywords in distributions.conf: default-keyring, dont-test
|
|
|
|
* Support situations where distributions (e.g. Squeeze) might be end
|
|
of life, but its archive signing key is still not removed from the
|
|
default keyring. (As of this writing, that's the case for Debian 6
|
|
Squeeze on Debian 8 Jessie.)
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Fixes reported error code in case of subcommand failure (Reported
|
|
and fixed by Yuri Sakhno, thanks!)
|
|
* Fixes inconsistent/non-functional handling of --nopygrub parameter.
|
|
Thanks Daniel Reichelt for the bug report and patch! (Closes
|
|
Debian bug report #842609)
|
|
* Fixes possible missing gateway in generated /etc/network/interfaces.
|
|
Thanks Santiago Vila for the bug report and patch! (Closes Debian
|
|
bug report #764625)
|
|
* Fixes typo found by Lintian.
|
|
* Work around LVM related race condition when using --force with LVM:
|
|
If an "lvremove" is immediately followed by an "lvcreate" for an LV
|
|
with the same name, "mkswap" (and maybe other commands) occasionally
|
|
fail with "Device or resource busy". Work around it by using sync
|
|
and sleep.
|
|
|
|
Distribution Releases Changes
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak.
|
|
* Preliminary support for Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus.
|
|
* Knows about code names for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye).
|
|
* Considers Debian Squeeze, Ubuntu Vivid and Wily being EoL.
|
|
* Knows about Ubuntu's "devel" alias.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Risen default values for RAM sizes in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.cfg
|
|
to cope with risen resource consumption and availability. (Closes
|
|
Debian bug report #776487)
|
|
* Default file system is now ext4 (instead of ext3).
|
|
|
|
Test Suite
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* release-testing:
|
|
+ Mitigate race conditions with immediately re-used LVs:
|
|
- Use per-test-unique host names.
|
|
- Delete potential old images by testing xen-delete-image before
|
|
calling xen-create-image. Add sync and sleep calls inbetween
|
|
those two commands, too.
|
|
+ Use "set -e" instead of "|| break".
|
|
+ Declare testability in distributions.conf instead of hardcoding
|
|
it. Mark buster and bullseye as not testable, too, for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
xen-tools 4.6.2 (released 23 Dec 2015)
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Make t/hooks-inittab.t using its own copy of the generic
|
|
/etc/inittab for testing instead of using the system one's. (GH#36,
|
|
should fix autopkgtest on systems with modified /etc/inittab)
|
|
* Fix unescaped braces (deprecated since Perl 5.22) in
|
|
t/plugin-checks.t.
|
|
|
|
Other changes

|
|
|
* Support for using pygrub from /usr/local/bin/pygrub.
|
|

|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
xen-tools 4.6 (released 20 Jul 2015)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
New Features and Major Changes
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Drop all occurrences of apt's `--force-yes` parameter. It only
|
|
forces the installation of untrusted packages and that's
|
|
unwanted. (Closes Debian bug report #776487)
|
|
* Support passing commandline options with `--debootstrap-cmd`.
|
|
* 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 is parsed
|
|
before the default settings or command-line options are set.
|
|
* Report all SSH fingerprints of the created DomU, not only RSA ones.
|
|
* Support VLANs with Open vSwitch (GH-2). Thanks to Félix Barbeira for
|
|
the patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Options
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* `--keyring` (xen-create-image, xt-install-image)
|
|
* `--vlan` (xen-create-image)
|
|
|
|
Distribution Releases Changes
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Debian 9 Stretch (preliminary support)
|
|
* Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf (preliminary support; not yet supported by
|
|
debootstrap, see Debian bug report #787117)
|
|
* Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx is now EoL.
|
|
* Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn is now EoL.
|
|
|
|
Improvements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Make test suite support as-installed-testing.
|
|
* Multiple release workflow improvements (target `release` in
|
|
`Makefile`).
|
|
* Supports `unstable`, `oldstable` and `oldoldstable` as distribution
|
|
names, too. (`oldoldstable` is not yet supported by debootstrap, see
|
|
Debian feature request #792734 in debootstrap.)
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Fix usage of nonexistent variable in `removeDebianPackage` (Closes
|
|
Debian bug report #774936) Thanks Lukas Schwaighofer!
|
|
* Allows `#` within configuration file comments. (Closes Debian bug
|
|
report #783060; thanks Jean-Michel Nirgal Vourgère for the bug
|
|
report and patch!)
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* Pass `--yes` to `lvcreate` only if LVM version is 2.02.99 or
|
|
higher. Fixes regression introduced with 4.5 by the fix for Debian
|
|
bug report #754517.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Change all occurrences of `http.debian.net` to
|
|
`httpredir.debian.org`.
|
|
* Installs bash completion into `/usr/share/bash-completion/` (fixes
|
|
lintian warning `package-install-into-obsolete-dir`)
|
|
* Testsuite: Optimize and clean up modules.sh.
|
|
* Split up test suite in functionality/compatibility tests (`t`) and
|
|
author/release tests (`xt`).
|
|
* New example script helpful for release testing.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
New Features and Major Changes
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Apply patch by Adrian C. (anrxc) to allow to override hooks in
|
|
`/usr/share/xen-tools/*.d/` with hooks in `/etc/xen-tools/hooks.d/`.

|
|
Improvements

|
|

|
|
later. Thanks to Daniel Lintott! (Closes Debian bug report #742778)
|
|
* Pass `-y` option ("assume yes") to `yum` (Closes Debian bug report

|
|
* Fix initial configuration summary in cases where `pygrub` is used.
|
|
* Fix corner cases where not the latest kernel would have been
|
|
checked.
|
|
* `--password` overrides `--genpass`. (Closes Debian bug report
|
|
#764143) Based on patch by Santiago Vila.
|
|
* Fix unaligned maxmem output of xen-create-image. (Closes Debian bug
|
|
report #764126; Patch by Santiago Vila)

|
|
(Closes Debian bug report #764134; Patch by Santiago Vila)

|
#764153; Patch by Santiago Vila)
|
|
|

Other Changes

-------------
|
|
|
|
* Drop all xend related sanity checks, they cause more havoc nowadays
|
|
than they help. Thanks Ian Campbell! (Closes Debian bug report
|
|
#732456)
|
|
* pygrub detection: Prefer `/usr/lib/xen-default` over `/usr/lib/xen-x.y`.
|

xen-tools 4.4 (released 11 Dec 2013)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Listing includes changes of according beta releases.
|
|
|
|
New Features and Major Changes
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Preliminary support for `xl` toolstack
|
|
* Ships `/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/xen-tools` for generating Dom0
|
|
initrds also suitable for DomU usage. Trigger `update-initramfs`.
|
|
* Installs a legacy `grub` in all `pygrub` based Debian/Ubuntu DomUs
|
|
to be able to update the `menu.list` automatically.
|
|
* `hooks/common.sh`: `installDebianPackage` no more installs
|
|
recommends, use `installDebianPackageAndRecommends` for that from
|
|
now on.
|
|
* `hooks/common.sh`: Rename `installCentOS4Package` to
|
|
`installRPMPackage`. Add `installCentOS4Package` wrapper for
|
|
backward compatibility.
|
|
* Better documents and checks requirements for the `--apt_proxy`
|
|
value. (See #623443 for the corresponding apt issue.) Requires now
|
|
`Data::Validate::URI`.
|
|
* Uses now `Data::Validate::Domain` and `Data::Validate::IP` for IP
|
|
addresses and hostname checks.
|
|
|
|
Newly Supported Distribution Releases
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
support for Saucy at the time of writing)
|
|
|
|
Improvements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Also recognize "M" and "G" instead of "MB" and "GB" as size unit for
|
|
`--memory`. Also document the recognized units. (Closes Debian bug
|
|
report #691320)
|
|
* `xen-list-images` now also outputs the file name of the config file.
|
|
* `xen-list-images` and `xen-delete-image` now understand `--extension`.
|
|
* Makefile accepts `DESTDIR=…`
|
|
* Move examples from debian/examples to examples.
|
|
* Adds default mount options for ext4, identical to ext2/ext3.
|
|
* By default install `linux-image-virtual` instead of
|
|
`linux-image-server` on Ubuntu Intrepid and newer (Hopefully closes:
|
|
#640099, LP #839492)
|
|
* Makes some options (like `--pygrub`) negatable.
|
|
* Rework "minimal" role to be less based on personal preferences:
|
|
* No more installs sudo, vim, syslog-ng, etc.
|
|
* Fixes usage together with pygrub.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* Fix symbolic link hooks/centos-6/15-setup-arch (Closes Debian bug
|
|
report #690299)
|
|
* Execute END block not on --version/--help/--manual (Closes Debian
|
|
bug #684346)
|
|
* Move code for `--boot` feature to `END` block. Fixes missing SSH
|
|
fingerprint display if `--boot` was used. (Closes Debian bug report
|
|
#679183)
|
|
* Correctly handle aborts in `END` block. (Closes Debian bug report
|
|
#704882)
|
|
* Fixes `--extension=` with empty parameter.
|
|
* Sarge amd64 case handle properly
|
|
* `xt-install-image`: Don't bail out if only `cdebootstrap` is
|
|
installed but not `debootstrap` (Thanks Elmar Heeb!)
|
|
* Fix filesystem tools installation in `91-install-fs-tools` (which
|
|
was broken since 4.3~rc1-1) by merging `91-install-fs-tools back`
|
|
into `90-make-fstab`. (Closes Debian bug report #715340) Also
|
|
supports RPM-based distributions now.
|
|
* Fixes creation of `ARRAY(0x#).log` named log files.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
* Moves `/usr/lib/xen-tools/` to `/usr/share/xen-tools/`
|
|
* Use `http.debian.net` as default Debian mirror if no mirror is given
|
|
and `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror` is not used.
|
|
* Default DomUs to use the noop scheduler (Closes Debian bug report
|
|
#693131)
|
|
* Fixes export of environment variables. Previously they could contain
|
|
dashes and then were only accessible from within Perl, but not from
|
|
within Bash.
|
|
* Uses `Test::NoTabs` instead of its own test for that.
|
|
* Removes unused Perl modules `Xen::Tools` and `Xen::Tools::Log` from
|
|
source code. Also removes the according tests from the test
|
|
suite. No more needs `Moose`.
