 Hi,
 
 I intend to have the attached document added to the Squeeze release

In general I support this. Those are changes worth mentioning. On the
other hand your text reads more like a howto, which IMHO should be
content for wiki.debian.org. Maybe have the release notes linking a wiki
document instead?

 Could others please give me comments on this? Also, some correction for
 my (poor) English would be welcome when/if you spot issues.

You are aware that we have debian-l10n-engl...@l.d.o for exactly that
reason?

Also i spotted that some of your wording is quite negative
(Unfortunaly, As a consequence, Another thing that you have to take
care about, ...). I would like to suggest we come up with at least a
neutral wording here. As I am not a native english speaker either, I
took the liberty to Cc debian-l10n-engl...@l.d.o for a help of rewording
the whole text.

Cheers,

| 4.7.4. Upgrading with Xen installed, and Kernel enumeration order issue with
| Xen
| 
| In Lenny, using grub legacy, the following kernel order was respected: - Xen
| hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel - Normal (eg: without dom0 support) kernel -
| Xen dom0 kernel (without they hypervisor)
| 
| This order was the natural expected one, because if you installed Xen, it will
| simply boot the hypervisor and it's dom0 by default as expected.
| 
| Unfortunately, in Squeeze, when running with Grub2, this isn't what is
| happening. By default, the order is the exact opposite: - Xen dom0 kernel
| (without they hypervisor) - Normal (eg: without dom0 support) kernel - Xen
| hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel
| 
| As a consequence, if you have Xen installed and expect to boot with it by
| default, you have to tweak grub2 configuration. One of the way to hack before
| the grub maintainers can fix it the proper way could be to simply do:
| 
| ln -s 20_linux_xen /etc/grub.d/09_linux_xen_first dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
| 
| so that Xen is loaded first, by default, when using Grub2.
| 
| Another thing that you have to take care about when upgrading from Lenny, is
| that currently, Xen isn't upgraded to the 4.0 version that you should be
| expecting in Squeeze. So, after you finished the dist-upgrade, it is advised 
to
| check that Xen 4.0 and the corresponding dom0 kernel are installed. Under the
| 64 bits architecture, the following command will fix this:
| 
| apt-get install xen-utils-common xen-utils-4.0 xenstore-utils libxenstore3.0
| xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
| 
| Here is the corresponding for 32 bits:
| 
| apt-get install xen-utils-common xen-utils-4.0 xenstore-utils libxenstore3.0
| xen-hypervisor-4.0-i686 linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-i686
| 
| Also, if you require HVM support, you will need to install the Xen Qemu device
| model, which is now a separate package:
| 
| apt-get install xen-qemu-dm-4.0
| 
| It is also important to notice that your domU wont be able to use sda1 (for
| example) as device name for their HDD. This naming scheme has been removed 
from
| Xen because of a request from the mainline kernel maintainers. Instead, you
| should use xvda1 (as a corresponding example) instead.

Your openturns upload

2010-12-28 Thread Adam D. Barratt
Hi Christophe,

I was just reviewing the diff of your openturns upload fixing #606870,
to check that it was suitable for unblocking.

Firstly, thanks for fixing the RC bug on the package.  I noticed that
you also fixed #604605 at the same time, dropping the dependencies on
python-qt3.  None of the source appears to use Qt3, so that should be
okay.  However, at least the python-openturns binary package does appear
to use Qt4 and I can't see anywhere in the dependency chain that ensures
that python-qt4 will be installed.

Apologies if I'm simply missing something due to a lack of coffee, but
is there a missing dependency on python-qt4 here?

Regards,

Adam

Re: Your openturns upload

Hello Adam,

you are absolutely  right: the python-qt4 dependency is missing. It is a
very mild one and should not be a big issue for the user who does not wish
to use the python graphical interface.
I am fixing this at the moment and I submit -8

Best regards and thanks for your help!

I did accordingly.

I also added few things to the wiki (like what packages to apt-get
install if you run on 32 bits, plus few words on dtc-xen, a bit about
the antispoof=yes thing, and other stuff).

 Could others please give me comments on this? Also, some correction for

Yes, but maybe we shall make sure that we agree with the *content*
before we send it to them for correction, right? Your comments on the
tone (which should be neutral) and the fact that it shouldn't be a howto
was helpful.

 Also i spotted that some of your wording is quite negative

Right. Changed. Attached is the new text, please re-read and let me know

4.7.4. Upgrading with Xen installed, and Kernel enumeration order issue with Xen

In Lenny, using grub legacy, the default kernel that would start after 
installing Xen packages was the Xen hypervisor and the dom0 capable Linux 
kernel. But in Squeeze (and SID), when running with Grub2, this isn't what is 
happening. By default, the non-Xen kernel will boot. If you have Xen installed 
and expect to boot with it by default, you have to tweak grub2 configuration as 
explained at: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration

Also, when upgrading from Lenny, Xen isn't upgraded to the 4.0 version of 
Squeeze. So, after you finished the dist-upgrade, it is advised to check that 
Xen 4.0 and the corresponding dom0 kernel are installed with dpkg -l, and 
eventually, install them with aptitude install. See the same address (eg: 
http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration) to see how to install 
the Xen hypervisor and the Xen dom0 kernel under Squeeze.

It is also important to notice that your domU wont be able to use HDD devices 
of the type sda1 (for example). This naming scheme has been removed from Xen 
because of a request from the mainline kernel maintainers. Instead, you should 
use xvda1 (as a corresponding example) instead.

as you can see here

https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=openturns

https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=openturns-7 got built already on a

  (Unfortunaly, As a consequence, Another thing that you have to take
  care about, ...). I would like to suggest we come up with at least a
  neutral wording here.
 
 Right. Changed. Attached is the new text, please re-read and let me know

 4.7.4. Upgrading with Xen installed, and Kernel enumeration order issue with 
 Xen
 
 In Lenny, using grub legacy, the default kernel that would start after 
 installing Xen packages was the Xen hypervisor and the dom0 capable Linux 
 kernel. But in Squeeze (and SID), when running with Grub2, this isn't what is 
 happening. By default, the non-Xen kernel will boot. If you have Xen 
 installed and expect to boot with it by default, you have to tweak grub2 
 configuration as explained at: 
 http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration
 
 Also, when upgrading from Lenny, Xen isn't upgraded to the 4.0 version of 
 Squeeze. So, after you finished the dist-upgrade, it is advised to check that 
 Xen 4.0 and the corresponding dom0 kernel are installed with dpkg -l, and 
 eventually, install them with aptitude install. See the same address (eg: 
 http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration) to see how to 
 install the Xen hypervisor and the Xen dom0 kernel under Squeeze.
 
 It is also important to notice that your domU wont be able to use HDD devices 
 of the type sda1 (for example). This naming scheme has been removed from Xen 
 because of a request from the mainline kernel maintainers. Instead, you 
 should use xvda1 (as a corresponding example) instead.
 

Actually if you need to change to xvda1 naming doesn't depend on Xen version! 
Xen 4.0 supports using sda1 naming, it's the domU kernel version that matters!

If you're using pvops (upstream kernel.org) kernel in the domU (squeeze 
2.6.32), 
then you can *only* use xvd* naming. If you're using old kernel with 
Xenlinux patches (for example lenny 2.6.26-2-xen), then you can use both xvd* 
and sd* naming.

It's recommended to use the xvd* naming to make life easier! (it works with 
both types of kernels).

 4.7.4. Upgrading with Xen installed, and Kernel enumeration order issue with 
 Xen

What you mean is:

  4.7.4. Xen upgrades

 In Lenny, using grub legacy, the default kernel that would start
 after installing Xen packages was the Xen hypervisor and the dom0
 capable Linux kernel.

Before I read this I thought I understood it, but now... the Xen
hypervisor is a kernel that starts after installing itself?  Or,
wait, the Xen hypervisor plus a Linux kernel, considered together,
constitute the default kernel?  I imagine you mean:

  In Lenny, if you installed Xen, the kernel that grub-legacy would
  boot by default was the one providing a Xen hypervisor and dom0
  support.

 But in Squeeze (and SID), when running with Grub2, this isn't what
 is happening.

These are *release* notes - forget Sid.  To steal Ben's phrasing:

  This does not happen under GRUB 2 in Squeeze.

 By default, the non-Xen kernel will boot.

  Instead, the non-Xen kernel will boot by default.

Or perhaps run it together as

  This does not happen under GRUB 2 in Squeeze - instead, the
  non-Xen kernel will boot by default.

 If you have Xen installed and expect to boot with it by
 default, you have to tweak grub2 configuration as explained at:
 http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration   

s/have to/need to/ and s/grub2/the GRUB 2/

 Also, when upgrading from Lenny, Xen isn't upgraded to the 4.0
 version of Squeeze.

I didn't know there was a 4.0 version of Squeeze!
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/s/squeeze/
I *think* you mean:

  Also, upgrading from the Lenny version of Xen does not
  automatically install the current 4.0 version.

 So, after you finished the dist-upgrade, it is advised to check
 that Xen 4.0 and the corresponding dom0 kernel are installed with
 dpkg -l, and eventually, install them with aptitude install.

Dist-upgrade is obsolete jargon.  There's no particular reason to
use dpkg rather than aptitude show, or indeed just trying the
install anyway - how would it miraculously have got installed
without the sysadmin's knowledge if there's no dependency pathway
from xen-hypervisor-3.2.1 to -4.0?

Also, false friend s/eventually/if appropriate/, but just drop this
pointless check:

  So, after you finish the dist-upgrade, you should use an explicit
  aptitude install for Xen 4.0 and a corresponding dom0 kernel.

I'm sorely tempted to add or give up on xen altogether.

 See the same address (eg:
 http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration) to see how
 to install the Xen hypervisor and the Xen dom0 kernel under Squeeze.

You don't mean e.g. here.  (I suppose it's better than ibid.)

  See the wiki page for instructions on how to set up the Xen
  hypervisor and dom0 kernel under Squeeze.
 
 It is also important to notice that your domU wont be able to use
 HDD devices of the type sda1 (for example). This naming scheme has
 been removed from Xen because of a request from the mainline kernel
 maintainers. Instead, you should use xvda1 (as a corresponding
 example) instead.

  Be aware that your domU won't be able to use (for example) sda1 as
  a device name for its hard drive. This naming scheme has been removed
  from Xen because of a request from the mainline kernel maintainers.
  Instead you should use (as a corresponding example) xvda1.

Re: Release notes addition for Xen support in Debian

I'll treat this and Thomas Goirand's rewrite as separate requests
for review and let someone else decide how to merge them.

 | 4.7.4. Upgrading with Xen installed, and Kernel enumeration order issue 
 with

 For a section title in the context of this document, I think “issue” is
 redundant.

Also, the capitalisation is a bit random.
 
 | In Lenny, using grub legacy, the following kernel order was respected: - 
 Xen
 | hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel - Normal (eg: without dom0 support) kernel 
 -
 | Xen dom0 kernel (without they hypervisor)
 
 s/they hypervisor/the hypervisor/
 
 I am fairly sure “eg: without dom0 support” is meant to be “i.e.,
 without dom0 support”. The original author should explain whether this
 is meant to be “for example” (“e.g.”), or “that is” (“i.e.”).
 
 Those are supposed to be a bulleted list, I presume? Perhaps editing has
 collapsed the paragraph. Here it is as a bulleted list:
 
 […] the following kernel order was respected:
 
 * Xen hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel
 * Normal (i.e., without dom0 support) kernel
 * Xen dom0 kernel (without the hypervisor)

And to avoid further abbreviatory confusion, make the middle one
  * Normal kernel (without dom0 support)
(Here and later.)

 | This order was the natural expected one, because if you installed Xen, it 
 will

 Maybe easier to scan:
 
 This was the default order, because Xen's default configuration was
 to boot the hypervisor and it's dom0.

Whoops, you mean its (possessive).  Otherwise, agreed.  Maybe you
could put back some of the natural expected bit like this:

  This made a natural default order, because Xen's default configuration
  was to boot the hypervisor and its dom0.
 
 | Unfortunately, in Squeeze, when running with Grub2, this isn't what is
 | happening. By default, the order is the exact opposite: - Xen dom0 kernel
 | (without they hypervisor) - Normal (eg: without dom0 support) kernel - Xen
 | hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel
 
 Briefer and perhaps more neutral (and again assuming a bulleted list was
 the intent):
 
 This does not happen under GRUB 2 in Squeeze. Instead, the order is
 the exact opposite:
 
 * Xen dom0 kernel (without the hypervisor)
 * Normal (i.e., without dom0 support) kernel
 * Xen hypervisor with Xen dom0 kernel
 
 The spelling and capitalisation of “GRUB 2” should be as I have written
 it there, to conform with URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/.

(In Lenny someone might have argued for the packagename grub2, all
lowercase, but that's a dummy package in Squeeze anyway.)

 | As a consequence, if you have Xen installed and expect to boot with it by

 before

 My suggestion:
 
 As a consequence, if you have Xen installed and expect to boot with
 it by default, you have to either wait for the GRUB 2 maintainers to
 fix the sequence or tweak the GRUB 2 configuration. One work-around
 is to simply do:

(In fact I find workaround in more dictionaries than
work-around, presumably because it was never a work around)

 The ‘dist-upgrade’ subcommand is deprecated; ‘full-upgrade’ is now

 Also, when upgrading from Lenny, Xen is not upgraded to the 4.0
 version that you should be expecting in Squeeze. So, after the
 ‘full-upgrade’ is complete, you are advised to check that Xen 4.0
 and the corresponding dom0 kernel are installed.
 
 The official recommended package installation tool is ‘aptitude’, so
 that's what our official notes should be recommending:

It's not clear that that's true for this release; it's what I've
always used (and its full-screen mode has given me some painless
test Lenny-to-Squeeze upgrades), but I've seen claims on
debian-devel or somewhere that apt's resolver is currently more
robust.
 
 * For the ‘amd64’ architecture, use the following command:
 
   aptitude install xen-utils-common xen-utils-4.0 xenstore-utils 
 libxenstore3.0 xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

 This is what the upstream maintainer had to say on the matter:

 I do not know lvm enough to provide a reasonably safe patch.
 
Then unless waldi reappears or someone does provide a patch, it doesn't
seem like there's anything we can do about this.  Tagging accordingly.

And that's a genuine what's-new, not a vestigial Lennyism.  It would
be nice to know the reasoning, but okay; for the upgrade itself we
should be quoting apt-get commands, while for the immediately
subsequent xen 4.0 install we should be telling them to switch back
to aptitude.

Thanks a lot for all these changes. I've attached the new version
modified with you advice.

Now, I did download the release-notes from SVN, as per the link Julien
provided. But I failed to understand what file I should modify in it
(I've searched...). This information is missing at

Please help me to get this addition in.

4.7.4. Xen upgrades

In Lenny, if you installed Xen, the kernel that grub-legacy would boot by 
default was the one providing a Xen hypervisor and dom0 support. This does not 
happen under GRUB 2 in Squeeze. Instead, the non-Xen kernel will boot by 
default. If you need Xen and expect to boot with it by default, you have to 
tweak the GRUB 2 configuration as explained at:

http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Installationandconfiguration

Also, upgrading from the Lenny version of Xen does not automatically install 
the current 4.0 version. So, after you finish the dist-upgrade, you should use 
an explicit aptitude install for Xen 4.0 and a corresponding dom0 kernel. See 
the wiki page for instructions on how to set up the Xen hypervisor and dom0 
kernel under Squeeze.

Be aware that, if you run a pvops kernel for your domU, like the Xen kernel 
2.6.32 of Squeeze, your domU won't be able to use (for example) sda1 as a 
device name for its hard drive. This naming scheme has been removed from Xen 
because of a request from the mainline kernel maintainers. Instead you should 
use (as a corresponding example) xvda1, which always work, including when 
running Lenny 2.6.26 forward ported Xen patch.
