[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#588406: fix for missing XEN_SCRIPT_DIR

[Sven Neuhaus]

I had another look at this and found the source of the problem - the reason why XEN_SCRIPT_DIR is not set: The hotplugpath.sh file is missing in the package.

In the "rules" file the "install" target includes this line:

        $(MAKE) -C $(BUILD_DIR)/tools/hotplug/Linux install-udev install-scripts UDEV_RULES_DIR=/lib/udev/rules.d

The problem is that make is never run in the tools/hotplug/common directory, where the 
"install-scripts" target includes the "build" target which generates the "hotplugpath.sh" file. This file contains, among other things, the XEN_SCRIPT_DIR variable. (The actual work is being done in the toplevel Config.mk file in the genpath target.)


So, here is the patch for the "rules" file that makes sure the required "hotplugpath.sh" file is generated (also attached to this mail):

When can we expect a fixed version of this package? This bug is really 
annoying.
