debvm (0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
Notable changes:
* debvm-create: Switch from genext2fs to mkfs.ext4. This has some
implications. fakechroot is no longer supported at all and user namespaces
are required for operation now. The generated filesystem has more ext4
features now and can represent precise timestamps now. mkfs.ext4 is
noticeably faster for larger images. There is a small chance that this
change causes obscure permission problems.
* debvm-create: Allow running without unshare again. The one exception to
running in a user namespace, is running as full root (e.g. in a
container environment).
* debvm-create: Emit an empty /dev. Earlier, a generated debvm image would
contain a minimal /dev hierarchy. It is always mounted as devtmpfs, so
generally unneeded and no longer emitted.
* debvm-run: New option --transport. Since debvm-run passes a number of
devices, you may now control which transport they use. For instance,
using an x86 microvm requires --transport device.
Bug fixes:
* customize-autologin.sh: bump minimum setterm version.
Thanks to Chris Hofstaedtler <zeha@debian.org>
* disable highmem for 32bit arm by default.
Thanks to Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
* debvm-run: use -cpu max for kvm
Thanks to Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
Documentation:
* debvm-run.1: more details on disabling network
* debvm-create: explain the trap 'exit 1'
Testing:
* autopkgtest: use negation to exclude 32bit arm
* tests/dist-upgrades.sh: must use archive.d.o for old releases
* tests/dist-upgrades.sh: add trixie
