[Pkg-xen-devel] Debian patches for Xen 4.5.0 (RC3)

[Stephen Oberholtzer]

(I hope this is the right address to send this message to.)

I've spent the last few days getting Xen 4.5.0 RC3 to form up Debian
packages, adapting the files from xen-4.4.1-4.
Would you guys like my patches?
It was a non-trivial exercise, especially because of commit 2c96ecb1,
which invalidated a huge chunk of the quilt patches.
I thought it might save you some effort when 4.5.0 is finally released.

I'm not sure if the resulting packages actually *work* (I'm actually
not yet sure how to safely upgrade Xen).
However, I can confirm this:

* 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us' produces suitable-looking .deb files:

* I compared the package contents looking for extra/missing files:
(for x in *xen*4.4.1-4*.deb; do dpkg --contents $x | cut -b 49- | sed
-e "s/^/${x%%_*}: /; s/4.[45]/X.Y/g"; done) | sort >
xen-4.4-filelist.txt
(for x in *xen*4.5.0~rc3-1*.deb; do dpkg --contents $x | cut -b 49- |
sed -e "s/^/${x%%_*}: /; s/4.[45]/X.Y/g"; done) | sort >
xen-4.5-filelist.txt
colordiff -U0  xen-4.4-filelist.txt xen-4.5-filelist.txt | grep -v '@@'

These were the differences:
