Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0 of 6] pygrub fixes to support a Fedora 16 guest

[Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

Ian (Jackson): Did you have time to look at these 6 patches for pygrub?
They're already in xen-unstable, and they should be backported to 
xen-4.1-testing.

http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/85d7b207fabc
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/138f707fa598
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/65679fee0177
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/152049468175
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/979bc34d0ad0
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/c681dd5aecf3

In the case they don't apply as-is to xen-4.1-testing 
Fedora 16 xen-4.1.2-2.fc16.src.rpm already contains those patches backported to 
4.1.2.

Thanks,

-- Pasi
