Hi,
I'd like to update the xen packages in buster to
4.11.4+24-gddaaccbbab-1~deb10u1 for the 10.5 point release. This is an
update to keep following the stable-4.11 upstream Xen code, which mainly
contains security fixes.
https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/blob/10f1a4a8f15b6748459cd1c826d3808694682faf/debian/changelog
I also have 4.11.4+24-gddaaccbbab-1 for unstable ready for upload here.
All of it is right now waiting for the upstream testing at the Xen
project to finish, which is regression testing the latest additions for
todays published security advisories (https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/,
2020-07-07). But, I'm already sending the request.
Both unstable and Buster are on Xen 4.11. Currently buster has
4.11.3+24-g14b62ab3e5-1~deb10u1, so in the changelog you can see we'll
be syncing it up with unstable again.
The 4.11.4-1 package version contained an actual packaging change, that
fixes a bug for upgrading to a new Xen version. This is something we
want to have in Buster for our users. It means fixing upgrading from
Buster to Bullseye, but also for whoever follows Debian unstable now.
It's the stuff related to #932759 and these are the changes:
Init scripts:

NEWS:
https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/commit/10baa2d48db43a5ff675bddf5482717f60fb748a
Testing and code review can also be seen in:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932759#38
So, since 4.11.4-1 is in unstable already, these changes have been out
there for weeks now. We have not seen any user report about any regression.
Thanks,
Hans van Kranenburg
