debian/patches/0008-lp287533.patch: allow 16 VCPUs when using kvm
(LP: #287533)

29. By Soren Hansen on 2008-08-11

* Make QEmu a suggested package of libvirt0 rather than a recommended one.
* Make kvm a recommended package of libvirt0.

28. By Soren Hansen on 2008-08-11

* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
  - debian/control:
    + DebianMaintainerField
    + Don't build-depend on QEmu.
    + Add "XS-Original-" prefix to Debian's Vcs headers.
    + Bump bridge-utils, dnsmasq-base, netcat-openbsd, and iptables to Depends
      of libvirt-bin.
    + s/interract/interact/g
    + Add versioned Conflicts/Replaces to libvirt0 for libvirt0-dbg, since
      we used to ship them as such.
  - Create /var/run/libvirt in libvirt-bin's init script.
  - Rename libvirt group to libvirtd.
  - 0005-delayed_iff_up_bridge.patch: Don't try to bring up the bridge before at
    least one interface has been added to it.
  - dont_clobber_existing_bridges.patch: Assign the name of the virtual
    bridge dynamically to avoid interfering with existing bridges.
  - better_default_uri_virsh.patch: Default to qemu:///system if the user
    has write access to the libvirt socket, otherwise qemu:///session.
  - We call libxen-dev libxen3-dev, so change all references.

27. By Soren Hansen on 2008-06-25

* New upstream release
  - Drop nic-model, disk-bus, and ancient_parted.patch. They're all
    upstream now (in some form).
  - Add new libdevmapper-dev build-dependency.

26. By Soren Hansen on 2008-05-02

* We call libxen-dev libxen3-dev.
* Make libvirt-dev installable alongside libvirt0-dbg.

    + Bump bridge-utils, dnsmasq-base, netcat-openbsd, and iptables to Depends
      of libvirt-bin.
    + s/interract/interact/g
  - Add libvirt0-dbg package
  - debian/libvirt-bin.default
    + Make libvirtd start by default
  - Add /var/lib/libvirt to libvirt-bin package. (dnsmasq needs it to store
    its state info.
  - Create /var/run/libvirt in libvirt-bin's init script.
  - Install PolicyKit and sasl stuff in libvirt-bin.
  - Rename libvirt group to libvirtd.
  - Build iscsi and disk storage support.
  - delayed_iff_up_bridge.patch: Don't try to bring up the bridge before at
    least one interface has been added to it.
  - dont_clobber_existing_bridges.patch: Assign the name of the virtual
    bridge dynamically to avoid interfering with existing bridges.
  - nic-model.patch: Add support for <model type='foo'/> NIC configuration.
  - disk-bus.patch: Add support for bus='foo' attributes for disk targets.
  - better_default_uri_virsh.patch: Default to qemu:///system if the user
    has write access to the libvirt socket, otherwise qemu:///session.
  - ancient_parted.patch: Fix builds against libparted1.7

24. By Soren Hansen on 2008-04-16

* disk-bus.patch:
  - Add bus attribute to disk/target tags. Allows you to create virtio disks.
    (LP: #213991)
* nic-model.patch:
  - Add <model type='foo'/> support to network interfaces. (LP: #213991)
* graceful_shutdown.patch:
  - Rather than pulling the power from virtual machines, send an ACPI power
    button event and let the OS handle it.
* better_default_uri_virsh.patch:
  - Updated patch: Output connection URI to stderr instead of stdout to avoid
    breaking scripts that use virsh.

23. By Soren Hansen on 2008-04-01

* better_default_uri_virsh.patch:
  - Make virsh connect to qemu:///system by default if the user has write
    access to /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock and qemu:///session if not.

22. By Soren Hansen on 2008-03-11

*Actually* apply our patches to the -dbg version.
