Since I started testing xen on mandriva one month ago, I keep
discovering various issues, such as:
- documentation not build (#27620)
- lack of libvnc support, preventing HVM usage (#27652)
- wrong default network configuration [#27674)
- kernel package not creating correct initrd or source symlinks (#27617)
- outdated package (not even final 3.0.3)
- etc...
Whereas making errors happens to everyone, I'm quite concerned that
despite reporting every issue with bugzilla, I had absolutly no response
sofar from maintainer, Arnaud... And as the package is protected by SVN
ACLs, I can't even fix those issues by myself. Once again, kernel team
preference for private developement method hampers overall quality,
rather than improving it. I'm curious about CS4, which is supposed to be
'virtualisation-ready'...
Now, what can we do for improving the situation ? I'd like Arnaud to
manifest himself once for a while. Otherwise, maybe we could start a
parallel xen packaging, with another xen package in contrib, and the xen
patch integrated into some non-official kernel ? I hate duplicating
work, but I don't really see any other situation.
I vote for a fixed forked contrib package if you don't have an answer
within one month.
