Am I misremembering?Sure. Its very cumbersome to update a single such xen.rpm. And, depending on the branch, they will be all named xen-4.5-0.rpm. After a 'zypper patch' installs a security update for Xen my private xen.rpm packages will be all gone. I have a quick look at mkdeb, it looks like the same change could be applied there. But I dont run Debian so its hard to tell if that approach would work as expected. So my recent "make src-tarball" patches I had two build targets: one where it would make a tarball with a "release-like" name based on "make -C xen version" (e.g., xen-4.4.1.tar.gz), and another where it would make a tarball with a "developer-like" version based on "git describe". You might think about adding an option like that to the rpm / deb make targets as well, so you don't have to invent your own name / remember what changeset a particular rpm is based on. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
