[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/mkrpm: allow custom rpm package name

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even if xen is configured and compiled with different --prefix= so that
it operates entirely below $prefix, the resulting package from 'make
rpmball' is always called "xen.rpm".

Use an environment name to give a different name.
This can be used like this:

suffix=-bugN
prefix=/opx/xen/staging${suffix}
./configure --prefix=${prefix}
make rpmball XEN_RPMPKG_SUFFIX=${suffix} \
    BOOT_DIR=${prefix}/boot \
    CONFIG_DIR=${prefix}/etc \
    INITD_DIR=${prefix}/etc/init.d

The result will be "xen-bugN.rpm" instead of "xen.rpm". The benefit is that
many xen${suffix}.rpm packages can be installed at the same time.

To be really independent: the package has to be compiled with RPATH,
xencommons has to be started manually, and the udev rule for backend
drivers has to be hooked manually into the systems rules.d dir.
