Hi Debian Release team
I need some advice from you. I'm about to solve #576227 on vzctl.
This is a quite big problem with vzctl as vzctl do not work with
insserv. In the
beginning it looked like a small problem, but it has turned out to be
a serious problem for squeeze.
Upstream have a correction that I'm in the progress of backporting. But the
change requires the following:
1) Kernel support
Upstream and I are now trying to convice the kernel maintainers to
suck in the latest openvz patch to make sure to enable that. This is
work in progress as I understand.
2) The patch is rather invasive. Quite some code is removed and
replaced with other code.
Also I had to run a number of build commands to make the build work
fine (aclocal, automake and so on). This makes the patch look even
bigger, even though it has no real functional change, more than that
the build works fine.
At the same time upstream have released a new upstream version with
quite a few other important things. See:
http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=commit;h=e076fd8b2582fb91b2cc206ea87b8a75428a5ca0
and
http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=commit;h=0cf7942a97c64139537d3fda85c63d3dd2630090
Solution to #594003 is one of them.
My preference is to package the latest upstream version with the
solution for #576227 backported as the change will be quite big
anyway. It would save me quite some time for backport work. The new
upstream version only contain bug fixes and only for quite important
issues. There are no debian bugs on a few of them though.
So would you accept such a change, even if Debian is frozen? I would
prefer that, as the general package stability would be better this way.
Best regards,
// Ola
