Description : libs and tools for virtualsquare
Virtualsquare tools (like vde or view-os) have been rewritten.
There is an entirely new codebase including a number of new features. [1]
I am the main author of the upstream. I want to thank the current
maintainers that have kept updated the Debian packets for years, and to help
them to upgrade all the packets to the latest version of our software.
This package includes the following projects:
strcase
libstropt
libfduserdata
libvpoll-eventfd
libvolatilestream
userbindmount
It is the first tile of the new architecture of packets designed to
upgrade all the packets currently maintained by Debian VSquare Team
<virtualsquare@cs.unibo.it>. [2]
During this process all packets will be updated to the latest Debian
standards.
The source package of this ITP unifies some small general purpose libraries
and tools that have been created during the development of the virtualsquare
projects.
Clearly this is the first source package because it provides libraries and
tools that will appear as dependencies in the following steps.
Each element in v2utils has the average size of some hundreds LOC, so it would
be a daunting effort to manage each one as a specific source packet.
A draft of the packaging vcs is at [3]. It flawlessy creates all the binary
packets. In my tests debuild and pdebuild do not generate any lintian error or
warning.
