[Xen-devel] default xen "make world" again dependent on non-xenbits repositories and non-http protocol

[Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Argh!  I know there's been a lot of effort over the years
on driving the Xen build mechanism to work from a single
server (xenbits).  I notice that (probably for awhile, but
I just noticed it) a default "make world" on a fresh
clone again depends on a different server, namely
git.kernel.org.  If it is down or otherwise inaccessible
(e.g. due to git proxying) the Xen "make world" fails.

I guess one can get around it by avoiding the pv_ops
kernel with:

KERNELS=linux-2.6-xen0 make world

but it would be nice if "make world" defaulted to fetch
all the bits via http and preferably from one server.
It's no fun to launch a "make world" on a fresh clone
on a fresh machine, expecting it to take hours and then
come back to that machine hours later only to find that
the build died hours ago.
