I already reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1297224 At least 3 pathes can be already removed and use configure values instead. Probably there are also other things that can be fixed and/or improved upstream instead always have and maintain dozen of distros patches. Thanks for any help about debian packages and sorry for my band english. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I did some small improvements to latest xen's ubuntu packages: https://github.com/Fantu/pkg-xen If you have not had the time I could try to update the debian packages by making a first draft and testing them (excluding test the arm hypervisor on which I have not sufficient knowledge). Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I included the close of some bugs in changelog but surely there will be more resolved to be added. I tested build on sid and was successfull. During the week when I have time I'll make the buildon a clean sid and I'll test thepackages. I'll probably do other improvements. The draft I did with all changes are here: https://github.com/Fantu/pkg-xen/tree/debian-next Any feedback is appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
