I've merged the patches and so on from xen-3.1.0-13.fc8.src.rpm with a recent xen-unstable tip (16635:9d447ba0c99a). With a bit of work I have managed to get a set of packages which appear to be able to work at least in my simple `does this work at all' test. I'm mentioning it here so that you can have a look at what I've done and comment on it. We'll probably be making official upstream rpms for Fedora 8. Please send me feedback either here on-list or privately. Most of the patches from -13.fc8 have been incorporated upstream so I just deleted them from my srpm. A couple of these patches I've included I have also submitted upstream and they'll be in xen-unstable.hg soon if they're not already. There were two patches that looked like they would be useful upstream: xen-qemu-bootmenu.patch pygrub-manykernels.patch but I wasn't able to find clear attribution for the source of this code. Xen upstream operates a `Signed-off-by' protocol to ensure that we don't get bitten by copyright problems. Where should I look to try to find the authors/contributors to check on the copyright status ? In my package I have included the hypervisor in the xen-*.rpm rather than making a kernel package too. This is more in line with practice upstream. The new hypervisor seems to work for me with the 2.6.21-2952.fc8xen kernel. I have not included xen-net-bridge.patch which seemed quite a surprising set of changes to me. I was rather puzzled by the part of xen-initscript.patch which removes most of xend's startup code. I agree that xend's arrangements are not entirely ideal but is there really much to be gained by making that changes, which obviously makes the patchset much more fragile ? You can find the actual files here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/xen-3.2rc-fedora8/ THESE PACKAGES SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR PRODUCTION - they're previews, and Xen 3.2 is still unreleased and in need of more testing.
