Got busy(extremely) with work, and a few things in life(as it always happens).

However, I've rebased against 2.0.4(see the patches I just sent).

Also, my list filters were broken for about a week.  I've just now fixed them.

I think we are waiting on 2.6.10 to get accepted into testing.
If you're tired of waiting you can build the debs yourself (like I did
:)

Please add 'dh-kpatches' to build-deps.

Already done, just not uploaded there.  I'll do so when I wake up.

Here is the list of things left to do, before uploading:

* Disable 2.4.29 patch generation.  This kernel source is not yet in
  debian(arg!).

* Copy package descriptions from 1.2, and extend for 2.0.

* Verify sanity of xendomains init script, as far as debian policy is
  concerned.

* Generate pristine 2.6.10 source from debian kernel source, instead of
  requiring ../linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2 to exist.

* Allow for installation of xend(and friends) when not running a xen kernel.
  The code currently breaks badly if a system dual-boots.  Users are also
  prone to install a set of tool debs and the kernel in one run, before
  rebooting into the new kernel.

The above are all that is required for an upload to experimental.  I need to
do upgrade testing from 1.2 before I can upload to unstable, however.

Ok, I've uploaded to debian's experimental tree.  This is to make certain it
doesn't blow up when people install it(even tho I'm using it locally).

The main problem with it is that it doesn't do upgrades from 1.2 at all.

All the above TODO items are solved, except that the xendomains init script
doesn't implement force-reload.

If you want to fetch the packages before they are processed thru debian's NEW
archive, then visit http://people.debian.org/~doogie/packages/.  The debs, and
source archives, are both there.

I grabbed all of the 2.0.4-2 debs in that directory and tried to do a 
dpkg --install *

I got:
dpkg: error processing xen_2.0.4-2_i386.deb (--install):
  trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/xen/examples/xmexample1', which is 
also in package xen-docs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Works with force-overwrite, but I assume that shouldn't be necessary

Can you give a quick summary on how it all hangs together in debian?
Will there be packages for the user mode stuff and a kernel-patch for
the kernel stuff so I can just build a xen with a make-kpkg? How does it
differ from Brian's effort?

Thanks

James

I got a private email tonight, asking when I'd release.  So, I set a
timeframe.

Yes, make-kpkg works.  I've got these debs installed on the 2 2.0 machines we
have here(haven't converted the 1.2 box yet).

make-kpkg places the kernels in /boot.  You call it by:

	make-kpkg kernel-image --arch xen

I need to fill in the descriptions(copied from the earlier debs).  Also need

depends.

xen 2.0.x and debian

[Adam Heath]

I plan on releasing(by release, I mean upload to debian itself) the xen debs
tomorrow evening.  2.4.28 is not in debian yet, so there won't be a patch for
that, only 2.6.10.

Initially, I'll only be uploading 2.0.1.  But this weekend I'll probably
upload 2.0.3 versions.  Afterwards, I'll start sending the patches I've done
to the build system(make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/foo kinda stuff, mostly).
