What happened to xenbits... After change set 5792, it seems to be time retarded... what''s the possibility of something like this breaking Xen? I ask, because I had a stable system and now its back to the state is was a week ago... (I am only sshed in so I can''t give more detailed info).

I just cloned a fresh copy of it and it looks up to date. If you pull new changesets into an existing local repository, you do need to ''hg update'' to make your check-out copy match the latest version. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
The other thing to watch out for is the history (hg history and web interface) is ordered by the date the changeset was applied to the repository in question rather than when it was first checked into a repository (the latter being the date field in the history). Changesets 5792 to 5804 were made to the IA64 tree a while ago. They were merged with the main tree on Friday which is why you see a break in the date ordering.

What''s the possibility a merge would break something? I had some severe instability a few weeks back, middle of last week it was fine, then I did an update after IA64 tree was merged and it started crashing. I have just started trying to figure out the problem, but I''m trying to rule out the noticeable things first.

It may come and go for you according to phase of the moon etc. I don''t have 100% trust in mercurial yet, but I''m pretty sure its merging is not to blame here. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Thanks for the info, if there is anything I or the community can do to help trace it down, please respond with details.
