xen-tools (4.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
For security reasons (avoid risk to circumvent ASLR), recent
kernels have disabled the vsyscall mapping. Unfortunately older
distributions don't run and hence can't be bootstrapped without it.
To enable trapping and enabling emulate calls into the fixed
vsyscall address mapping and hence to run and bootstrap older Linux
distributions in a chroot (as xen-tools does), you need to add
"vsyscall=emulate" to the kernel commandline, e.g. by adding it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, then running
"update-grub" afterwards and finally reboot.

xen-tools (4.4~beta1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Exported environment variables no more contain dashes ("-"). Dashes in
environment variable names are from now on converted to underscores
("_") before being exported. May affect some hook or role scripts.
* /usr/lib/xen-tools/ has been moved to /usr/share/xen-tools/ to
properly adhere to FHS. In case you had local scripts added to
/usr/lib/xen-tools/, please move them to /usr/share/xen-tools/, too
and then remove /usr/lib/xen-tools/ and its left-over subdirectories
which all should be empty at that point, i.e. "rmdir -p
/usr/lib/xen-tools/*" should do the trick.

xen-tools (4.2~rc1-1) unstable; urgency=low
By default, xen-create-image now generates a random root password and
displays it as plain text at the end of the DomU generation process.
Use --genpass=0 and --passwd=1 to interactively set a root password
without the password being displayed.

xen-tools (4.2~beta1-1) unstable; urgency=low
If the DomU hangs with "Waiting for root file system" despite
/dev/xvd* is used as disk device, adding "xen-blkfront" to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules and running "update-initramfs -u"
afterwards may help.
If the Dom0 is a Debian or Ubuntu, the distribution and suite for
DomUs defaults to the distribution and suite the Dom0 is
running. Otherwise Debian DomUs get "stable" and Ubuntu "lucid" by
default.
Default Debian/Ubuntu mirror is now determined by looking into
/etc/apt/sources.list (if it exists) and taking the first entry with
path ending in /debian/ there.
