Packaging Xen 4.2.0

Packaging Xen 4.2.0

[Steven Haigh]

Hi all,

I'm trying to update my RPMs of 4.1.3 to work with 4.2.0, but I'm having 
some interesting problems with the packaging side of things.

in 4.1.3, xenpaging was being built as /usr/sbin/xenpaging, however in 
4.2.0 it is being built as /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenpaging.

I'm currently using the following configure options in my .spec:
./configure --libdir=/%{_libdir} --prefix=/usr --bindir=/%{_bindir} 
--sbindir=/%{_sbindir}

This is expanding to:
./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin 
--sbindir=/usr/sbin

So, I'm wondering how xenpaging is getting that path info - however I do 
see a lot of what seem to be hard coded references to 
/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenpaging with a quick grep around the source.

A penny for peoples thoughts?

xenpaging is a private helper, similar to qemu-dm. Its currently not
integrated into xend or libxl.

Thanks, but shouldn't it be installed under --libdir? In my case, 
/usr/lib64 as per the configure? I'm still a bit confused as to why it 
ended up in /usr/lib/xen/bin.

Especially when configure is called with:
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin

tools/xenpaging/Makefile uses LIBEXEC.
libexec defaults to /usr/lib/xen/bin, --libexec=/usr/lib64/xen/bin or
similar may work.
