Hi there, If you didn't see it, you should read the thread "Xen, Squeeze, and Beyond" on the debian-devel list that you may have missed: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/thrd2.html#00653 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/03/threads.html#00005 This clearly shows you what I told you about the lack of support for Xen in Debian. What I see is that there's more a lack of communication than anything else. Debian is like no others distribution, if nobody cares doing the dirty work of packaging, some software can go away from the archive, simply because of the lack of task force. The disaster of the Lenny dom0 with no upstream support should be avoided at all costs, and the only way to do so is by having people working on Xen involved in Debian. Otherwise, the Debian kernel team will simply hate working on maintaining a Xen dom0 (which is already the case, I believe). Any lack of responsiveness of everyone can lead to nowhere. I feel it's a shame that nobody from this list stood in this thread to say that he will help the kernel team this time, so that the Debian kernel team can feel there's a real support from "upstream". Thomas P.S: Of course, everyone knows that if the patches from J. are finally accepted, all issues are over, but betting that this will happen before Squeeze is released is a very dangerous bet. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
