Bug#680693: unblock: qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-1
As has been mentioned on IRC and elsewhere, current
qemu-kvm in sid depends on librbd/librados/ceph,
but apparently there are issues with ceph --
#679686, and #677645 & #681946 .
There's more: due to a missing shlibs file for
librbd, qemu-kvm in sid references symbols in
librbd which are not present in the version of
this library currently present in wheezy, without
proper versioned dependency, so migrating qemu-kvm
to wheezy/testing will make this package to fail
to work, as described in #680307.
As also mentioned on IRC, the unblock which has
been granted for qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-1 is now
revoked, due to this very issue, and that it's
okay to upload a version with removed librbd
dependency. Here's the context:
20:14 < jcristau> mjt: qemu-kvm 1.1.0 should hopefully get into testing tonight
20:14 < jcristau> mjt: then we can think about the next revision
20:14 < mjt> oh ma
20:15 < mjt> it wont even start in -testing
20:15 < jcristau> hmm?
20:15 < mjt> missing librbd versioned dependency
20:15 < jcristau> argh.
20:16 < mjt> exactly the reason why i asked what to do with c++ symvers.
20:16 < mjt> ie, there's no official dependency, but it is a bug. librbd in wheezy does not have symbols in use by qemu-kvm from it.
20:17 < mjt> i had my vacation at a very wrong time... :(
20:18 < jcristau> right, ok, so i'm dropping the unblock
20:19 < jcristau> and you can upload a -2 without the ceph deps
20:21 < mjt> jcristau: I've a one-liner fix for #681306 (forgotten icon file), should I roll it back?
20:22 < mjt> http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/qemu-kvm.git;a=commitdiff;h=4e60b9f3cc2dcc4eb3e964adb4e21e306994216f
20:22 < jcristau> nah, that's just fine
I just uploaded a new version, qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-3 ,
which removes librbd/librados build dependency and
hence fixes all issues due to it, including #680307.
It also fixes a trivial packaging bug, #681306 ,
which is a missing icon file. Both changes are
trivial (removal of build-dependency merely makes
qemu-kvm to not enable ceph support, which is a
very rarely used in practice anyway).
Incremental diff between qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-1 and
qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-3 is below. I'm sorry for the
-3 release, not -2, -- the -2 upload was wrong.
I briefly tested the resulting package - there's
very little code changes (just disabled single kind
of block devices), -- my regular win7, winXP and
linux guests boots in 1.1.0+dfsg-3 fine, and win7
installed its next batch of updates from microsoft
also fine.
I kindly request an unblock for the current release
in unstable, qemu-kvm/1.1.0+dfsg-3 . Thank you for
your time!
