Has anyone put any 3.1.2 packages together for Debian yet? I''ve been spoilt by having them for just about every other recent release, and Debian does things a little differently (eg allows you to have several versions installed simultaneously and automatically detect which Dom0 runtime stuff to use).

I can supply a copy of the patch if anyone wants to build their own.

Hi James, I made my own packages for 3.1.2, which are quite close to the debian pkg-xen version (I am part of that team, but not very active at the moment). There are only some very small differences, espacially I numbered my packages in a diffrent style then debian does, because I want to have the full xen version in the pkg-name. My packages are running on two productive machines since one week without any problems at all. On one machine Xen 3.0.3 made serious trouble, but 3.1.2 fixed them, so 3.1.2 seems to be quite stable to me. My packages are available for the following debian distributions and architectures: i386: etch, lenny, sid amd64: only etch (because I have no automatic build system for amd64) Just add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://packages.debianbase.de/<distro>/<arch>/xen3.1 ./ deb-src http://packages.debianbase.de/sources/xen3.1 ./ So for amd64 and etch this would be the correct line: deb http://packages.debianbase.de/etch/amd64/xen3.1 ./ There is still one bug open within my packages (and maybe even in the orig pkg-xen packages, haven''t checked). The hvmloader stuff isn''t found when a symlink from /usr/lib/xen to /usr/lib/xen-3.1.2-1 is missing. So set this symlink to be on the safe side. But please be aware, that the 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64/686 kernel from debian is build with xen 3.0.x patches (actually taken from fedora), which are working with xen 3.1, but you will not be able to use 32bit domUs on 64Bit Dom0/Hypervisor. If you need that too, then you need a newer kernel with xen 3.1.x patches. Hope this helps ;) -- Ralph Am Dienstag, 20.

They should be available in debian unstable/sid now or at least in very near future :) See: http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xen-3.html and http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xen/ --Ralph _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
