+ Fixes reported error code in case of subcommand failure (Reported
and fixed by Yuri Sakhno, thanks!)
+ Fixes typo found by lintian.
+ Preliminary support for Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak.
+ Knows future Debian release names Buster (10) and Bullseye (11).
+ Knows about Ubuntu's "devel" alias.
* Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8. (No changes needed.)
* Use NEWS.markdown as upstream changelog, don't install it as docs.
* Switch many URLs (upstream and in packaging) to https:// and update
URLs where they were broken or redirect somewhere else now.

[ nirgal ]
+ Fixed typo in initramfs comment
[ Axel Beckert ]
+ 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 with Perl 5.22) in t/plugin-checks.t.
* Support checking upstream GPG signature in debian/watch.
-- Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> Wed, 23 Dec 2015 18:05:54 +0100
xen-tools (4.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

+ Integrate BUGS.markdown into README.markdown, move remaining
contents of KNOWN_BUGS.markdown to the GitHub issue tracker.

- Fixes failed autopkgtest.
+ Preliminary support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus.
+ Neither use $#array in boolean context nor @array = undef anymore.
* Update Vcs-* headers to point to GitHub instead of GitLab.
* Add debian/maintscript to remove obsolete conffile
/etc/bash_completion.d/xen-tools properly.

-- Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> Sat, 24 Oct 2015 01:13:08 +0200
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 10.04 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 is 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.
-- Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> Mon, 20 Jul 2015 16:05:04 +0200
xen-tools (4.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

+ Pass "-y" option ("assume yes") to yum (Closes: #735675)
Thanks Lionel FÉLICITÉ!

than they help. Thanks Ian Campbell! (Closes: #732456)
+ 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/.
Thanks! (Also add /etc/xen-tools/hooks.d/ to debian/dirs.)

+ Update list of supported Ubuntu releases.
- Add support for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.
- Add preliminary support for Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet.
- Use old-releases.ubuntu.com for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander.

+ Fix lvcreate awaiting user input when creating swap lv (Closes: #754517)
Thanks Eric Engstrom!
+ Fix missing quoting in shell function "assert" in hooks/common.sh.
+ Fix initial configuration summary in cases where pygrub is used.

* Fix lintian warning depends-on-perl-modules.
* Add lintian override for debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk; I disagree.

- Rework "minimal" role to be less based on personal preferences.
+ No more installs sudo, vim, syslog-ng, etc.
+ Fixes usage together with pygrub.
- hooks/common.sh: Split up installDebianPackage into
installDebianPackage and installDebianPackageAndRecommends.
* Also add build-dependency on "libterm-ui-perl | perl (<< 5.17.0)" and

UTF-8. Fixes FTBFS with Perl 5.18. (Finally closes: #720519)
- Apply patch by Philipp Erbelding to fix overzealous line matching in
xen-list-images. (Gitorious merge request #5)
- xen-list-images now displays a unit after the memory size
- Drop support for memory size in kilobytes in xen-create-image,
neither xt-create-xen-config nor xm support it.

neither has trailing whitespace nor broken indentation.
- Also display MAC address after the DomU has been created.
- Preliminary support for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
- Added --maxmem flag to set a maximum value for dynamic memory
ballooning. Thanks to Joan <aseques@gmail.com> for the patch!

aborting under some circumstances. (Closes: #725192)
- Abort early and with proper error message if "xen-delete-image
--test" is not used with "--dir". (Closes: #704878)

fingerprint display if --boot was used. (Closes: #679183)
- Correctly handle aborts in END block. (Closes: #704882)
- Use local parameter instead of global variable in unMountImage.
- Also recognize "M" and "G" instead of "MB" and "GB" as size unit for
--memory. (Closes: #691320) Document the recognized units.
- Default DomUs to use the noop scheduler (Closes: #693131)
- Overwork TLS disabling on Debian and Ubuntu
- xen-list-images now also outputs the file name of the config file.
- xen-list-images and xen-delete-image now understand --extension.
- Fixes "--extension=" with empty parameter.

Ubuntu Saucy (debootstrap doesn't have support for Saucy at the time
of writing)
- Preliminary support for xl toolstack
- xen-create-image: Consistently use runCommand() instead of system()
- xt-install-image: Don't bail out if only cdebootstrap is installed
but not debootstrap (Thanks Elmar Heeb!)
- Makefile accepts DESTDIR=…
- Move examples from debian/examples to examples.
- Uses File::Which exclusively (no more findBinary, no more `which`),

Add installCentOS4Package wrapper for backward compatibility.
- 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: #715340) Also supports RPM-based
distributions now.
- Fixes export of environment variables. Previously they could contain
dashes and then were only accessible from within Perl, but not from
within Bash.
- Fixes creation of "ARRAY(0x…).log" named log files.
- Makes some options (like --pygrub) negatable.

* Add debian/gbp.conf to be able to to build xen-tools with
git-buildpackage.
* Clean up debian/rules:
- Don't mention (generated) upstream changelog explicitly,
dh_installchangelogs finds it by itself if it exist. That way
building out of a freshly clone git repository does not fail due to
a missing upstream changelog.
- Use dh_auto_{install,clean}; use "$(MAKE)" instead of "make" where
dh_auto_* can't help. No more explicitly call "make manpages", it's
a depedency of "make install" in the next line anyway.
- Finally switch to a minimal dh style debian/rules.
* Bump debhelper compatibility to 9
- Update versioned debhelper build-dependency
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes)
* Add dependency on ${perl:Depends} to fix dpkg-gencontrol warning.
* Bump copyright years in debian/copyright.

* New upstream release
- Remove most Mercurial traces
* Fixes FTBFS due to testsuite failures (Closes: #676681)
- Disable tests of not yet used Xen::Tools. Fixes FTBFS in test suite
due to not satisifed Moose dependency in Xen::Tools::Log.
- Added build-dependencies on libmoose-perl, git, and
libtest-pod-coverage-perl for t/perl-syntax.t, t/gitignore.t, and
t/pod-coverage.t.
- Skip t/hook-inittab.t if /etc/inittab is not present on the build
host. Fixes FTBFS on Ubuntu.

- Only attempts to generate the ssh host keys if not already present
(Closes: #607236; Thanks Vagrant Cascadian!)

- Always write down root partition as first physical device, otherwise
pygrub fails (Closes: #609673)

* Move xen-utils (for pygrub) from Suggests to Recommends as pygrub
becomes the necessary way to boot more and more often.
* Remove xen-shell from Recommends, nobody picked it up. (Closes:
#603708)

upstream changelog has to be generated first out of the VCS log.
(Closes: #595883)
* Update debian/copyright: Add Stéphane Jourdois to list of authors.

(e.g. debootstrap) is not only logged, but also printed to
STDOUT. (Closes: #513126)
- Adds btrfs support.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1 (no changes)

xen-tools (4.2~beta1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer and upstream authors
* Reintroduction into Debian Unstable (Closes: #566714)
* New upstream beta version
- Needs dependency on libfile-slurp-perl
- Supports for more recent versions of Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian
(Closes: #499477)
- Supports pygrub. (Added "Suggests: xen-utils" to debian/control)
- Uses hvc0 and xvda devices by default
- Sets umask to 0077 before creating disk images (Closes: #548909)
- Makes sure, MAKEDEV is found in either /dev/ or /sbin/
(Closes: #502798, #515228)
- Changed rinse path to /usr/sbin/. (Closes: #511211)
- Doesn't delete configuration file if it already exists when
xen-create-image is run. (Closes: #520177)
- Doesn't write the FQDN into /etc/hostname (Closes: #492583)
- Dereferences pointers before hashing them to generate a MAC
address. (Closes: #547265)
- Calls pwconv and grpconv inside chroot when installing Fedora
(Closes: #499476)
- Fixed typo in /usr/lib/xen-tools/*.d/75-fixup-securetty
(Closes: #503339)
- Makes better decisions about when to enable Debian security updates
in the created DomU (LP: #309750)
- Installs dhclient for CentOS and Fedora if DHCP networking is
requested (LP: #241446)
- Fixes some bashisms (Closes: #530226)
* [^y] → [!y] (Thanks to Mathieu Parent!)
* kill -HUP → kill -s HUP (found by checkbashism)
* ${parm/?/pat[/str]} → echo | sed
* echo -e → printf
* read → read dummy
- xt-install-image now exits with return value 127 instead of 0 to
indicate errors on running the command given in --install-method.
(Closes: #534290)
- The debootstrap command now also can be configured on the
commandline with --debootstrap-cmd in xen-create-image and
xt-install-image (Enhances fix for #436480 which added the
debootstrap-cmd config file option)
- Checks for debootstrap and cdebootstrap, uses debootstrap if both
are installed (Changed "Depends: debootstrap" to "Depends:
debootstrap | cdebootstrap" in debian/control)
- Added new files TODO and KNOWN_BUGS to debian/docs.
* Removal of /etc/bash_completion.d/xm from the package since
bash-completion ships a more elaborate version of that file. (Closes:
#566683, #550590, LP: #538917, #484098)
* Downgrade reiserfsprogs and xfsprogs to Suggests. (Closes: #561618,
LP: #80233)
* Added evms-cli to Suggests. It has been removed from Debian before
Lenny, but it is necessary for some optional functionality of
xen-tools. And since some Debian derived distributions (e.g. Ubuntu
LTS and grml) still support it, it's included for the sake of
completeness and correctness.
* Added cfengine2 to Suggests. It is helpful to have it installed when
using the cfengine2 role.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary)
* Bump Debhelper Compatibility to 7
- Replace "dh_clean -k" by "dh_prep"
* Add Vcs-* headers pointing to new upstream and packaging repository
* Fix some Lintian warnings:
- [debian/control]: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends
- [debian/copyright]: copyright-without-copyright-notice
- [debian/source/format]: missing-debian-source-format
* Added a README.source explaining how to build xen-tools directly from
the Git repository.
* Overhauled package description
