* Package name : xen-qemu-dm-3.4 Version : 3.4.2 Upstream Author : Xensource <xen-de...@lists.xensource.com> * URL : http://www.xen.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Xen Qemu Device Model virtual machine hardware emulator This package is the Xen version of the Qemu emulator especially patched for its hypervisor. With xen-qemu-dm, you can run a fully virtualized virtual machine if your hardware supports it (Intel VT support, or AMD-v technology). Explanation on why this package is created: Bastian Blank decided to remove xen-qemu-dm from his Xen packages, as he believed he could not face any potential security issues in the Xen version of Qemu. As many people still need HVM support in Xen, I have gathered a small team of people that are reading the xen-devel list, to maintain this package: Ian Jackson <ian.jack...@eu.citrix.com> -> Debian guy at Citrix Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabell...@eu.citrix.com> -> Qemu guy at Citrix Christian Motschke <christ...@motschke.de> -> Volunteering Samuel Thibault <sthiba...@debian.org> -> Can help so that I wont get stuck if there is any security issue on the package. I will also build a private mailing list with the above persons registered, so we can work as a team in case any issue is raised by the security team or others. I intend to be the main package maintainer, but I wont have any internal knowledge of the source code, which is why I insisted on having help here. This has already proven to be the right path, as Ian Jackson (and others) have been of great help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
