[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#1063270: xen: NMU diff for 64-bit time_t transition

[Maximilian Engelhardt]

Control: found -1 4.17.2+76-ge1f9cb16e2-1

Hi Steve,

Thanks for taking care about the 64-bit time_t transition.

Unfortunately your attached patch looks a bit strange to me. It adds 
autogenerated files, but especially FTBFS in your experimental upload.

You can find an updated patch attached to this mail that only contains the 
relevant changes and does the rename in one more place to fix the FTBFS.

With this mail I also mark the xen version currently in testing as affected so 
this bug does not prevent the migration of the xen version currently in 
unstable (4.17.3+10-g091466ba55-1).

I also did compile xen in qemu for armhf one time with the current unstable 
version and one time with the change below to test the time_t transition.
The resulting binaries were the same (thanks xen is buildable reproducibly).
So maybe the transition is not needed for xen, but unfortunately my knowledge 
is not that much that I can say this for sure.
