What''s the procedure for applying the patches provided here. I''ve tried patching the 4.0-testing repository with Qing He''s nested vmx patch series from september without any success. I''ve also had similar problems with applying a set of patches that Eddie Dong sent me in a private email. I''m assuming that the patches need to be applied against the 4.0.1 release tag. I also notice that the patches seem to originate from ''hg export'' however they only include one ''-r'' argument to diff which doesn''t seem correct - certainly hg import --exact returns a "abort: not a Mercurial patch" error. I''m also assuming that the order the patches need to be applied are the order in which they are tagged by name in the series, ie. patch 01/16, 02/16, etc. is this a flawed assumption? Can anyone please tell me where I''m going wrong? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Patches are usually against xen-unstable.hg -- the development branch which will eventually become Xen 4.1.0. You can apply them with ''patch -p1'' at the root of xen-unstable.hg. -- Keir On 27/11/2010 06:56, "domiel forty-two" <domiel42@yahoo.com.au> wrote:> What''s the procedure for applying the patches provided here. > > I''ve tried patching the 4.0-testing repository with Qing He''s nested vmx patch > series from september without any success.

...although importing them to mercurial patch queues is probably better: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension -George On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 7:11 AM, Keir Fraser <keir@xen.org> wrote:> Patches are usually against xen-unstable.hg -- the development branch which > will eventually become Xen 4.1.0.
