[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#917908: RM: blktap-dkms -- RoQA; obsolete, FTBFS

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

blktap was replaced by blktap2 <https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Blktap2> in
current versions of Xen.  It hasn't been possible to build a kernel
module with this package since Linux 4.12 (#874751), over a year ago.
The related userspace code (blktap package) was also broken by
glibc changes around the same time.
