I'm not sure I understand what checksum you're referring to here. Is it part of the NetBSD ports system ? What does the ports system expect ? > I worked around this by using the in-tree ioemu.

We won't be doing this. The point of using git rather than hg is to much more easily manage the interactions and patch workflows between the various branches of qemu, of which ioemu-remote is just one. Dealing well with this kind of forked up trainwreck requires a lot of heavy lifting from the revision control system. git can do this (despite the appalling user interface) and hg can't. > This would also allow to create snapshot packages from unstable > via hg archive -t tgz xen-snapshot.tar.gz in a half-automated way. I agree it is a shame that our official tarball isn't made entirely mechanically. If you would care to contribute a script that reproduces the 3.3.0 tarball when dropped into the appropriate xen-3.3-testing changeset, and also does a sane thing in currently xen-unstable, we'll consider including it and using it next time.
