When I do a mkpatches in a recent xen-3.0.3-testing I have this:

for i in linux-2.6 ; do make $i-xen.patch; done
make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire « /home/oco/xen/xen-3.0.3-testing »
Cannot find linux-2.6.16.29.tar.bz2 in path .:..
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.29.tar.bz2
-O./linux-2.6.16.29.tar.bz2.....


Can I assume that the linux-2.6-xen-sparse/ directory containes a valid candidat
for patching my 2.6.19-rc5 ?

Ok, thank you.
I will try to do that.
I have seen that a lot of xen patch are already included in the 2.6.19 tree (xen
patch are backported patch ?).
I will report success and failed.
