Re: [Xen-users] Xen packages availible for Ubuntu and Debian
The source packages for everything are also available, but what i think
you really want are the kernel-patch packages. Use apt-cache to find
which kernel-patch-$VERSION-xen packages are available for stable or
unstable. Once you have the kernel patch and the upstream kernel
source code, you can build your own kernel with whichever configuration
you would like. Then just add an entry to /etc/xenkernels.conf, and
run update-grub-xen.

It would be very nice if the source packages were available too. Newer

(for those who already saw the previous announcement on the xen-users
list, see below for package changes)
The stable packages are from the most recent stable release, 2.0.7,
while the unstable packages are from a recent nightly snapshot.
Included are all the packages you will need to have a fully
functional Xen installation. This includes kernel packages built
with the default Xen configurations, and also kernel patches that
facilitate building kernels that more closely match your existing
kernel configuration. The kernel packages also include a
configuration system that will determine (or if your priority is set
to medium ask you) the necessary xen root device, and domain 0 memory
allocations. For more info on this system, see the man page for the
included update-grub-xen, and the /etc/xenkernels.conf file.
Especially of interest to many is the --default option to
update-grub-xen, which will take steps to write the xen entries as
the default in your grub configuration file.
These packages are available at mirror.clarkson.edu, by adding the
appropriate lines to your sources file, and then installing the xen
package, and optionally the appropriate kernel patch package.

Future goals with these packages:
consolidate xenu and xen0 kernel packages into single xen
configuration
make update-grub-xen script more robust, ie add better initrd
detection to it?
autobuild unstable packages nightly
Changes from packages previously announced on xen-users:
fixed python dependencies errors
removed bashisms from update-grub-xen script
added kernel patch packages
fixed bug in kernel config scripts when priority was set to high
(bad assumptions on my part)
