Main Inclusion Report for xen-3.0

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xen-3.0, available for all supported architectures

2. Rationale:

   • Build dependency of libvirt
   • Necessary to support Xen in main

3. Security:

   • No CVE entries.

   • No Secunia history.

   • xend daemon runs as root, only listens on unix socket by default
   • Does not open any port.
   • Source code review:

4. Quality assurance:

   • Package works out of the box with minimal configuration.
   • Package does not ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'normal'.

   • No showstopper Debian bugs.

   • Good maintenance in Debian.

   • Active upstream.

   • Lots of critical bugs in upstream bug tracker

   • Does not deal with exotic hardware which we cannot support.

5. Standards compliance:

   • Meets the FHS, Debian Policy

   • Meets Debian library packaging guide standards.

   • Standard debhelper packaging, standard dpatch system.

6. Dependencies:

   • All in main.

Reviewers

MartinPitt: libraries are fine to go to main, but let's keep the hypervisors and utils in universe until the kernel side and critical upstream bugs settled.
