Hi *,

<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-unstable-src.tgz>

from today has 85MB because it containes complete & unclean kernel
trees ;-)

/nils.

Oops, and I really thought I'd got it right this time :-)

I'll try again...

NB: I'm also about to change the name of the install tar ball such that
it contains an architecture prefix. Only people who pull it from scripts
will likely notice.

If you're changing names, i'd vote for a bit more consistence. I have
managed to make a rpm specfile which builds stable, testing and
unstable, but that was a weird hack because of this:

branch		stable		testing		unstable
tarball		2.0.6		2.0-testing	unstable
tarball dir	2.0		2.0-testing	unstable
xm dmesg	2.0.6 (?)	2.0		3.0-devel
xen image	2.0.6		2.0-testing	3.0-devel
syms file	xen-syms-$VER	xen-$VER-syms	xen-$VER-syms

That makes scripting hard. And what about a date string in the
testing/unstable snapshot's names/versions?

Btw: "xm dmesg" shows

  Latest ChangeSet: information unavailable

with my builds. Is that a bug?

/nils.

Hi,

Seems that the link is not working.

It only gives me some 166 bytes file...

This is not a bug, if you are running stable version. The tree of
stable is not BK repo itself, so there is no changeset notation.

But if you use bk to pull the unstable or testing version to your
machine, then compile it, the "Last ChangeSet" will be shown (of
course your machine must install bk)

If you are using the code got from Mercurial repo, you must make sure
to install "hg" tool on your machine to have those "Latest ChangeSet"
;-)

Ian seems to work on the archives. Try again now, i have just fetched a
working tarball from today.

I use the testing/unstable snapshot tarballs.

So there is a piece of bk/hg-metainformation not in the snapshots.

Ok. Thanks.

indeed. all the SCM metainformation is removed in all the snapshots.
so that "Latest Changeset" will not be shown if you dont get the code
from repo.

lets consider that information is for developers only ;-)

seems still to be broken :-(


Building from src is unfortunately not (yet?) successful:

That means you have the curl package installed. Curl-devel will include the 
headers, etc, so it'll probably be a separate package for your distro.  
You'll need this to build from source.

Since the link appeard x86_64 has not been passing the nightly build
regression tests, so there's no binary there for the moment. Hopefully
this will get fixed soon...
