[Xen-devel] Make mkpatches fails in tip of xen-unstable; solution suggested
Hello, I hope that this is an appropriate for this list - please educate me if not. Having cloned the unstable repository and attempted to run "make mkpatches" I found that it failed because it couldn''t download linux.2.6.16-rc4.tar.bz2 from kernel.org. This is because it''s looking for it in /pub/linux/kernel/v2.6 when in fact it is to be found in /pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/. I resolved this by editing [my hg repo]/buildconfigs/Rules.mk circa line 35, and adding /testing/ to the wget invocation. That worked, and I''ve now got the patches I wanted. Perhaps someone with commit rights can make this change in the official repository? Or have I misunderstood something fundamental...? (Incidentally, I''m researching Xen to use in a rebuild of our testing and staging platforms; desired combination of xen plus OCFS2, introduced in one of the .16 prepatches, is what leads me to using xen-unstable. It''s early days but I''m very impressed so far) Thanks, Matt S. -- | Matt Saunders Broadband solutions for | Technical Architect Home & Business @ | PlusNet plc www.plus.net + --------- PlusNet - The Smarter Way to Broadband ---------+ _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
