[Pkg-xen-devel] Removing the kernel patch

[Ralph Passgang]

Hi Dominic,

I am not a DD myself, so I cannot change something on alioth, but at least 
when the packages gets available in debian we will have the patch available 
on alioth. I think someone will handle this... Can't be so complicated :)

But before you proceed testing & working on the pkg-xen debian files you 
should know the following:

for the moment we have 2 active trees, because of some massive changes in r72 
and some later revisions that bastian made.

We have the /trunks tree which is (at the moment) maintained by Bastian and we 
have the /branches/20060306-fern tree that is maintained by Joulien, Jeremy, 
Guido & me.

The naming for both trees is not really clever, because (at least in my 
opionion) the branch is the main tree and bastian's trunk is more or less 
experimental right now.

We will try to merge both works if bastian has reached his goals and his happy 
with his version, but that might get complicated, because bastian decided to 
use a completly diffrent rules file. But we will do our best to integrated 
useful changes that he made.
