Hi Stephen,

yes, I know.
I did it already with mercurial and this works fine for me, but
if it is on that downloadpage, I expect that this will work as well.
Because with the "hg clone" you will fetch the actual snapshot. This means not a stable one.
In this case you have to use the "hg -r" to get only the Stable Version.
That is what I know. But for this you need the newest Version of Mercurial, which is again more work to install.

But the questions are here:

1) Why we have still that .hg and Mercurial stuff in that final release.
2) And how can we use that xen3.2.0 linux kernel stuff, without pulling it from the Repository

Any ideas ??


Cheers,
Maik

Yes, I had that problem too. You need to install mercurial, and clone
the kernel repository with:

hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

in the directory where you unpacked the xen-3.2 tarball. See also:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-01/msg00699.html

The README in the 3.2 release could have been clearer about this.

Hi,

has someone already tried that xen 3.2 source package together with  
the linux-package which you will find on this URL:
http://www.xen.org/download/

Has someone get it work ? Because it will constantly search for the  
Mercurial Repository for the Linux 2.6.18 kernel.

Cheers,
Maik
