sponsored Ganeti development

[Sascha Lucas]

Dear Ganeti developers,

It happened, that I found some sponsoring and a person capable of
Haskell[1] for Ganeti development. Current goals are compatibility
only: GHC, Python-3.12, Qemu etc. targeting Debian Trixie and Ubuntu
Noble. I have no glue if our funding will be sufficient.

You are invited to make suggestions on topics to address, review or
comment on PRs and everything else. If no input is received two of my
colleagues[2,3] and I will decide to the best of our knowledge.

Thanks, Sascha.

Hi Sascha,

These are great news! Thanks for taking care of that.

I will try to review PRs in the next days, but I am a bit short on time. On the qemu side of things it would be great to look into the existing PR #1667 as it fixes multiple current problems with Ganeti and qemu (while at the same time transitioning away from HMP). I am happy to merge it after a review (or address possible findings).

#1667:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1042264 is likely caused by Haskell toolchain changes, identifying/writing a fix would be very useful.

Cheers,

Debian testing is currently not usable for Ganeti, because of the removal
of libghc-regex-pcre-dev. But GHC compatibility has reached a point, where
we can do testing with Ubuntu 24.04. There I can reproduce the bug you
mentioned.

The fix itself is in pandoc[1] and needs to be backported/incorporated
into Debian[2]/Ubuntu. However there is a simple workaround for the
Ganeti build process[3].

Thanks, Sascha.
