libvirt (11.6.0-1ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian experimental (LP: #2115181). Remaining changes:
* Remaining changes:
- d/p/u-aa/lp2079869-*: allow access for bridge helper to sys node
(LP 2079869)
- d/*(post|pre)(rm|inst), d/*.install: drop generated files
- Disable libssh2 support (universe dependency)
- d/control: add libzfslinux-dev to build-deps
- debian/patches/ubuntu/ovmf_paths.patch: adjust paths to secboot.fd UEFI
Secure Boot enabled variants of the OVMF firmware and variable store for
the paths where we ship these files in Ubuntu.
- Set qemu-group to kvm (for compat with older ubuntu)
- Additional apport package-hook
- Autostart default bridged network (As upstream does, but not Debian).
In addition to just enabling it our solution provides:
+ do not autostart if subnet is already taken (e.g. in guests).
+ iterate some alternative subnets before giving up
+ d/l-d-config-network.postinst: clear 'autostarted' state, to activate
network on install (LP 2093864)
+ d/control: Add Breaks/Replaces, to account for the move of configuration
of the default bridged network to libvirt-daemon-config-network.
(LP 2107448)
+ d/t/network: Test automatic virbr0 setup via autopkgtest.
+ d/l-d-config-network.{pre,post}inst.in: diversions for network config.
+ d/l-d-config-network.{pre,post}inst.in: retain non pkg owned network
config.
- d/p/ubuntu/Allow-libvirt-group-to-access-the-socket.patch: This is
the group based access to libvirt functions as it was used in Ubuntu
for quite a long time.
+ d/p/ubuntu/daemon-augeas-fix-expected.patch fix some related tests
due to the group access change.
+ d/libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu.postinst*: add users in sudo to the libvirt
group.
- Update README.Debian with Ubuntu changes
- d/p/ubuntu/ubuntu_machine_type.patch: accept ubuntu types as pci440fx
- fix autopkgtests (LP 1899180)
+ d/t/control, d/t/smoke-qemu-session: fixup smoke-qemu-session by making
vmlinuz available and accessible (Debian bug 848314)
+ d/t/control: fix smoke-qemu-session by ensuring the service will run
installing libvirt-daemon-system
+ d/t/smoke-lxc: fix smoke-lxc by ignoring potential issues on destroy as
long as the following undefine succeeds
+ d/t/smoke-lxc: use systemd instead of sysV to restart the service
+ d/t/control, d/t/smoke-lxc: retry service restart and skip test if
failing; This was flaky on some release/architectures
+ d/t/smoke-lxc: retry check_domain being flaky on arm64
- dnsmasq related enhancements
+ run dnsmasq as libvirt-dnsmasq (LP 1743718)
+ d/libvirt-daemon-config-network.postinst*: add libvirt-dnsmasq user
and group
+ d/libvirt-daemon-config-network.postrm*: remove libvirt-dnsmasq user
and group
on purge
+ d/p/ubuntu/dnsmasq-as-priv-user: write dnsmasq config with user
libvirt-dnsmasq and adapt the self tests to expect that config
+ Add dnsmasq configuration to work with system wide dnsmasq-base
- d/p/ubuntu/set-default-machine-to-ubuntu.patch: to select default
machine type correctly with newer qemu/libvirt
- d/p/ubuntu/lp-1861125-ubuntu-models: recognize Ubuntu models for
(LP 1861125) fixups
- d/p/ubuntu/wait-for-qemu-kvm.patch - avoid hangs on startup (LP 1887592)
- d/libvirt-daemon-common.libvirt-guests.default: shut guests down
in parallel
- Apparmor Delta that is Ubuntu specific or yet to be upstreamed
split into logical pieces. File names in debian/patches/ubuntu-aa/:
+ 0020-virt-aa-helper-ubuntu-storage-paths.patch:
apparmor, virt-aa-helper: Allow various storage pools and image
locations
+ 0029-appmor-libvirt-qemu-Add-9p-support.patch: appmor,

- libvirt should not use user/group tss for swtpm (LP 1948880)
+ d/libvirt-daemon-system.postinst: own swtpm logdir by user swtpm
+ d/p/u/swtpm-by-swtpm-user.patch: change default spawned swtpm processes
to user swtpm and adapt expected self test result changes triggered by
this
+ d/libvirt-daemon-system.postinst: create user/group swtpm if not present
due to swtpm-tools (LP 1951975)
- d/libvirt-clients.lintian-overrides: Add script-not-executable lintian
override
- libvirt-uri.sh, d/rules: Automatically switch default libvirt URI
for users via user profile (qemu:///system)
+ Update: Set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI to "qemu:///system" in all
cases. (LP #2027838)
- d/control: Demote passt to Suggests (from Recommends) for
libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu, because passt is in universe.
- d/control: Make libvirt-daemon Suggest (instead of Recommend)
libvirt-daemon-plugin-sanlock, which is in universe.
- d/control: re-generate from d/control-in: we stop changing both files
and eventually re-generate from d/control-in at built as intended.
