[Xen-devel] Xen4.2 debian packaging

[Alex Bligh <alex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The xen debian packaging currently produces a debian package of what
'make install' would produce. This includes a fair amount of development
only stuff, puts the hypervisor in /boot etc.

This packaging is not used by Ubuntu (I don't know about debian).

I have a hack:

https://github.com/abligh/xen-4.2-live-migrate/commit/ffbfc9394a74d0344be5982a5fed9aa9fa28ad74

that produces a 'minideb'. The idea was to put in the minimum of userspace
code that would be required to run xen4.2 and xl. This excludes the
hypervisor which if I were less lazy would be in a separate package,
as you don't need that on disk when you are network booting.

Is there any interest in taking this into mainline if I clear it up?
It's just another make target (make minideb) so is pretty unintrusive.
