Well, finally I have bit the bullet and cut the debs. :) These are probably FULL of bugs, mistakes and outright wrong methods of packaging. SO, use at your own risk! If it eats your lunch, sorry! http://www.terrabox.com/debian/ Files: *_1.3-20040819_*.deb Notes of interest: If you notice that the packages do NOT contain any XenLinux kernels, don't worry. I pakcaged it that way intentionally. WIth the vast array of configuration options now possible with XenLinux 2.4 and 2.6 I decided that it would make more sense to split XenLinux kernel creation and Xen kernel creation into 2 systems. The XenLinux kernels will be creted using the patch sets generated and XenLinux-Builder. XenLinux Builder: XenLinux-Build 0.1 is also available there. It's a first attempt at building a slightly inteligent packager for XenLinux kernels. Right now it only creates tarballs. The next version I hope to have it creating deb files. It's based on the Debian kernel-source and kernel-patches filesets. Anyways, standard bleeding edge warnings apply here as well, even though I'm using it to generate my production XenLinux kernels. ;) Main Intents: a: multiple config source file handling, b: simplify building a XenLinux kernel from the admin's perspective. c: separate Xen* guest OS kernel building from the main Xen package. d: other reasons I forget I thought of. heh TODO: --Create debian style kernel-headers tarball/deb/whatever filesets for compiling modules against. --Manage specification of 3rd party patch files on the kernel source tree. --Create deb targets. --Create RPM targets.(any volunteers? I'm totally unfamiliar with rpm.) --Have the package copy the build environment files to a new location via setupXenBuilder script. (preserves pristine original build files in usr/share/xen-builder) --whatever else makes sense to be handled here. :) Comments, questions, gripes, and advice is all welcome on all of the packages. :) Patches are definitly more than welcome. I'll eventually submit the debian/* file tree from my patchset to the wonderful Xen maintainers for inclusion once things look to be stable. I'll cut a new set of the latest in the next few days once I see a version of Xen that appears to be stable enough to be worth it. :) Gotta love a moving target. *grin* Laters!
