Bug 570932 – app-emulation/xen-tools,xen-pvgrub,xen stablisation request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2016-01-05 00:51:35 UTC]

This single bug will catch a number of issues in one bug:
1. Returning of KEYWORD x86 to xen-tools, xen-pvgrub
2. Stabilisation of xen-4.6

Recent attempts have to purge portage of the vns. of xen-4.2.5 are currently thwarted because they break rdeps.  On closer examination, the root cause is that x86 keyword has been dropped from xen-tools. xen-pvgrub deps on xen-tools, and both support guest vms of arch x86.

Only the most recent revbumped versions of these two warrant re-addition.
On stablisation of the latest of xen vns. 4.5 & 4.6, We can finally purge the old xen-4.2 and the superseded revbumps of the vns. 4.5 & 4.6.

This can be used also to centralise stabilising of xen packages for some current security bugs.

Please make stable:
                                                Arch

=app-emulation/xen-tools-4.5.2-r3:              amd64   x86
=app-emulation/xen-tools-4.6.0-r5:              amd64   x86   arm
=app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.5.2:                        x86
=app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.6.0:                amd64   x86   arm    
=app-emulation/xen-4.5.2-r3:                    amd64   x86
=app-emulation/xen-4.6.0-r5:                    amd64   x86   arm

Arch arm has been supported since mid 2014 when I added it. There is no reason why it cannot be stabilised for arm now and arm64 when it becomes a stabled keyword.

Ian,

I don't think we want app-emulation/xen stable on x86. Just xen-tools. I don't know what xen-pvgrub does so I can't comment on that.

yes a slip;

                                                Arch

=app-emulation/xen-tools-4.6.0-r5:              amd64   x86   arm
=app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.5.2:                        x86
=app-emulation/xen-pvgrub-4.6.0:                amd64   x86   arm
