Thank you Julien. Rebuilt, retested briefly, and uploaded.
There's one extra "inter-debdiff" - a change accumulated
since the unblock request, which should be okay:
* eventfd-making-it-thread-safe.patch - fix a missing
- ioeventfd notifier (Closes: #680719)
+ ioeventfd notifier (Closes: #680719, #685314)
;)
I'll ping this bug# again in a week or so.
Now, the same set of changes plus a few more fixes (larger
fixes which went into upstream qemu-kvm-1.1.0 but weren't
included into qemu-1.1.0) ineeds to be applied to qemu package
too. Plus, upstream accumulated a few more fixes (targeting
qemu-1.1.2) - which updates other architectures (which are
not relevant for qemu-kvm package which is x86-only). And
even more, qemu package needs some extra love currently due
to #684909, which needs changes in s390-tools package and
needs firmware for ppc64.
I waited for the current set of changes (in qemu-kvm) to be
accepted/rejected before proceeding with the next stuff (qemu).
Can you give some comments about all this? To sum it all up:
- the same set of changes is needed for qemu too (plus more
stuff already in qemu-kvm)
- qemu needs 3 more firmware files for s390 and ppc64, which
requires introduction of extra Arch-all packages
- we've more fixes pending upstream for more bugs (mostly
in non-x86 emulation), and upstream is about to release
a next bugfix version, 1.1.2
Now I'll try to collect and upload it all at least to
experimental, to see how it all goes.
Thank you for your time!
