Im planning on updating my packages as soon is some issues with my google summer of code program under which I initialy developed them get worked out. I have a big list of improvements and updates to push to the server that are just waiting. Eventually id like to be able to have nightly packages. Hopefully everything will be cleared up soon and ill be able to continue with the work.

They are not terribly useful yet and mostly a excuse to learn how to build debs:-) I''d prefer not to enter a competition about xen debs, so can I help with yours instead?

Which obviously means installing them and booting xen. My work hasn''t had a test system for me to use, but that seems to be fixed now. Another problem, is that debian like to remove old kernel source. Which means supporting older xen(even 2.0.7) is tricky, as it requires 2.6.12. In all honesty, I would love to see newer versions of xen 2.0 for newer kernels; it''d make my job that much easier. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I got bit by that during the 1.x -> 2.x switch. It''s left a sour taste in my mouth. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''d be glad to do testing for you on my Opteron server...
