Bug#725968: pu: package libvirt/0.9.12.2-1



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

Hi,
to ease the porting of libvirt patches for Debian's stable branch
(0.9.12) we created upstream a v0.9.12-maint branch containing what we
(as in Debian) cherry picked from upstream already plus newer security
fixes:

    http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/v0.9.12-maint

Any chance we could switch to 0.9.12.2 for the next (or after that)
point release? This also contains the somewhat complex backport for
CVE-2013-4311 [1]. Since the branch is for critical (mostly security and
crashes) fixes only it should be a good fit for Debian stable releases.

The huge diff[2] mostly stems from a new automake bootstrap and most of our
debian/patches moving into the actual release. I'm testing the release
tarballs with libvirt-tck so from a stability stand point we should be
even better off than what we currently ship. 

So o.k. to upload 0.9.12.2-1 to p-u?
Cheers,
 -- Guido
