I am sorry, I have not read anything of the previous discussion but if it is about having a simple way of getting a t= est package for deb (and rpm) based systems, the make target approach which i= s not using a debian directory sounds better. For testing you likely want just = one package and that does not necessarily need any documentation. And if that= was done in debian/ it would make the Debian maintainers job a pain because t= he whole packaging is based on the orig tarball not having that directory. (= And FWIW Ubuntu derives from Debian, there are only changes if we really real= ly have to). The kernel has a "make deb-pkg" approach as well. Though there things are= a little more simple as there are less locations which can be different to = the normal packages. That might be much harder to achieve for the Xen (not on= ly but anything with a mix of binaries and libraries to be put somewhere in para= llel but not interfering if not wanted). -Stefan --------------enigBD233EE5489933CEAD7F8C8F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJRLyYdAAoJEOhnXe7L7s6jYosP/2OQQWn3wIfjAhafCGAJopc1 wFy4Nyj1a/HofNdLW75FTdQc9NyhPInZ2x8ayJSWpsHGu7yF7idLdL9nqpAs6Tqh xkkIpWXNrevPiBm6L+x++lmZaOKz/ybBGT6rSMmffawJrHHnBbZfy509VMpa2eRh /ZE/6ql3QUVRq0GrcJ4PQBvXSFqjxSkOyNVLMhSvlDJaIWvNJOQy/OqzyJH2BejK 67vilbbiiNGUIOUelZwb59aYCEPo4veQpzpLThs0AtS/HBNgykzo0LHihyBPqvXb F0iqAGPGB4rETxBR/9yloRKnI8Cf4KTvYa5tY+gHgFAf73cFwFatycYPMTWQs+eO YKhO9IRuIjv0vW0JG+xW6U+7Udq/R7NWOm9QEJmGZfxiGx10riVEpGh9uzLvwNmb HBGSgFZdx+bTDImdV8KWzt0HP5eY3EAm9dpPz8BM3k+UgHgEw5+VZ5VXOTsGyNmn ZKQcgXthpemWo30m9lbvjjzO5F1lofdO8q8hh9Wj1pN3Ur7tPYuYzI2vIwWUDknF ZC0eQksdZme4H0V6Wgmox5/Ch7/Z5rbQmh4wDwXlXDZ6Cm6IEcFULdfgSdB1Gl3r LNxoU3aFPTzWnbxMUTERcx3667Y9esuVTJqchoYO+SyPKcrc9jZ0YmVyinySD58s kTyj1XYJnkZIWiFE6Ii5 =Jcdh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigBD233EE5489933CEAD7F8C8F-- --===============1019629563283131912== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel --===============1019629563283131912==--
