Bastian just started to working on xen 3.0.4. Please be patient... :)

I have some absolutly untested automaticly created packages, that you might 
want to try. I have built some packages for xen in the past, but stopped that 
as the pkg-xen group was formed. But because my autobuild setup still exists 
it was one command to create xen-3.0.4 packages ;-)

http://packages.debianbase.de/<sid/etch>/i386/.xen3/
http://packages.debianbase.de/sources/.xen3/

the autobuild for sarge didn't succeed, because of sarge is still using 
python2.3. If you need it for sarge, then please take the source package and 
change all "python2.4" to "python2.3" in debian/libxen-python.install and in 
the debian/rules file and recompile it.

Please be aware that this package hasn't been tested at all, it just has been 
built. so even I don't know if it's really working. Please don't even think 
of submitting bugs against this package on bugs.debian.org, it's far away 
from beeing an offical package and doesn't represent the way the pkg-xen 
group want's to ship xen (it's based on an old xen 3.0.1 package) :)

package names are diffrent from the xen-3.0.3 packages you might already know 
from the offical debian archive. If you want to test them, please uninstall 
all debian xen packages before you try to install my version, otherwise you 
might get trouble.

you can find the kernel patch in /usr/src after you have installed 
xen-utils-3.0 package. the packages only consist of userspace tools and 
hypervisor. forget the linux-patch-xen package that exists on my server, 
because it's useless as long as there is no 2.6.19 linux-source package in 
debian :)
