Bug#1036125: ITP: virtme-ng -- Build and run specific kernels inside a virtualized snapshot of your live system



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo@ribalda.com>
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, ricardo@ribalda.com

* Package name    : virtme-ng
  Version         : 1.6
  Upstream Contact: Andrea Righi <andrea.righi@canonical.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/arighi/virtme-ng

  Description     : Build and run specific kernels inside a virtualized
snapshot of your live system

virtme-ng is a tool that allows to setup a lab to experiment different
kernel versions in a safe virtualized environment, re-using the entire
filesystem of the running machine as a safe live-copy, without affecting
the real filesystem of the host.

virme-ng is a fork of virtme. It is more active than the legacy version. The
original author
has been contacted and they are ok with the fork and replacing the original
virtme from Debian
until he has time to maintain it again.

Once this package lands I will ask for the removal of the old virtme.
