Hi guys, There are four ways you could be a big help to the xen-ia64 effort. I have mentioned these in the past but never pulled them together into a single request. 1. Publish Juan's tree which is the result of his merge of linux-2.6.tip-xen, linux-2.6 and linux-2.6-xen. How about http://people.redhat.com/quintela/linux-2.6.tip-xen-fedora.hg? As things stand right now, it's very difficult for ia64 devs to contribute to Juan's patch, for 2 reasons: (1) we never see it until after a new kernel rpm is published, (2) all we get is the final result, lacking the extremely helpful changeset history. 2. Use matched xenlinux/hypervisor pairs. At the OLS Xen mini-summit there was some discussion of compatibility. The statements were: - old domU should run on new hypervisor - new domU NOT guaranteed to run on old hypervisor - dom0 and hypervisor should be MATCHED Presently (kernel-2.6.17-1.2432.fc6.src.rpm) it appears that the hypervisor and xen patch are both dated 20060719. That's a good sign! :-) It would be great if you could provide some indication of your intent to continue using matched pairs. Are they actually based on the same xen-unstable changeset? We, the users, can't tell because the tarball is dated instead of cset-stamped, and Juan's tree isn't available. See #1 ;-) 3. Apply my kernel.spec and config changes at the end of this email. This would make it much easier for the ia64 developers to do test builds and track down failures. Presently it's a pain for me to maintain this out of tree. 4. Apply the xen.spec and libvirt.spec changes. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2006-July/msg00022.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2006-July/msg00021.html Regarding libvirt.spec, I've talked with Daniel and he's just waiting for xen.spec to be ia64-enabled... Objections/comments? I'll attempt to update any relevant BZs today.
