It used to be at least because Xen itself was using stubdom for ioemu. Nowadays stubdom-ioemu is away, but stubdom/ still builds xenstore, so it makes sense that it's xen that builds it along building the non-stubdom version. > Thinking about the hoops I had to jump through for doing some > of the Mini-OS cleanups (especially regarding config options), having all of > the stubdom stuff in Mini-OS or an extra repository would probably be cleaner. I don't really see how that will help with the config options management? It will however make its buildability checks less apparent to xen developers. Samuel
