[Pkg-xen-devel] Debian patches for Xen 4.5.0 (RC3)
(I hope this is the right address to send this message to.)
I've spent the last few days getting Xen 4.5.0 RC3 to form up Debian
packages, adapting the files from xen-4.4.1-4.
Would you guys like my patches?
It was a non-trivial exercise, especially because of commit 2c96ecb1,
which invalidated a huge chunk of the quilt patches.
I thought it might save you some effort when 4.5.0 is finally released.
I'm not sure if the resulting packages actually *work* (I'm actually
not yet sure how to safely upgrade Xen).
However, I can confirm this:
* 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us' produces suitable-looking .deb files:

* I compared the package contents looking for extra/missing files:
(for x in *xen*4.4.1-4*.deb; do dpkg --contents $x | cut -b 49- | sed
-e "s/^/${x%%_*}: /; s/4.[45]/X.Y/g"; done) | sort >
xen-4.4-filelist.txt
(for x in *xen*4.5.0~rc3-1*.deb; do dpkg --contents $x | cut -b 49- |
sed -e "s/^/${x%%_*}: /; s/4.[45]/X.Y/g"; done) | sort >
xen-4.5-filelist.txt
colordiff -U0 xen-4.4-filelist.txt xen-4.5-filelist.txt | grep -v '@@'

I've just now rebased that to rc3 and pushed to the pkg-xen git tree[0] (see the feature/experimental-rc3 branch). I've built and confirmed that the package content is sane, plus I've installed on a test machine and started a PV guest (seems fine). If you notice any glaring differences between what's in that tree and what you ended up with then please do give a shout, since as you say there were some distinctly non-trivial rebasing bits in there (2c96ecb1 was a particular pain as you say!)

Thanks for your work on xen packages, I have some question about 4.5 packages: I saw a debian/rules that disable blktap2 but debian/patches/tools-blktap2-prefix.diff is still present and used in series, if blktap2 is now disable I think is nomore needed. I saw also many other patches about prefix still present but for xen 4.5 time ago I saw a big series of patches about honor tools prefix, probably some or all prefix patches are nomore needed. Can you update also xendomains init and default files in debian folder to latest xen upstream please? Some useful options added in upstream some years ago is still missed in debian packages :( Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
