Virtualsquare tools (like vde or view-os) have been rewritten. There is an entirely new codebase including a number of new features. [1] I am the main author of the upstream. I want to thank the current maintainers that have kept updated the Debian packets for years, and to help them to upgrade all the packets to the latest version of our software. This package includes the following projects: strcase libstropt libfduserdata libvpoll-eventfd libvolatilestream userbindmount It is the first tile of the new architecture of packets designed to upgrade all the packets currently maintained by Debian VSquare Team <virtualsqu...@cs.unibo.it>. [2] During this process all packets will be updated to the latest Debian standards. The source package of this ITP unifies some small general purpose libraries and tools that have been created during the development of the virtualsquare projects. Clearly this is the first source package because it provides libraries and tools that will appear as dependencies in the following steps. Each element in v2utils has the average size of some hundreds LOC, so it would be a daunting effort to manage each one as a specific source packet. A draft of the packaging vcs is at [3]. It flawlessy creates all the binary packets. In my tests debuild and pdebuild do not generate any lintian error or warning.
