[Pkg-xen-devel] Backporting Xen 3.1 to Etch

[Marco Crociani - Tyrael]

Hi,
this morining I was trying to compile xen 3.1 on my Debian Etch (AMD64).
I have a little problem with gcc-multilib. It depends on many packages
that don't exist in Etch. So I brutally remove it from debian/control
and then dpkg-buildpackage.

There was some warning on compilation:

and

warning, `debian/xen-utils-3.1-1/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined
field `Python-Version'


 I can't test the package because it is on a remote server (it will be
not funny if it doesn't come up on reboot). On the next week end I
should have access to a AMD64 desktop so I will try it.

Is Xen hypervisor 3.1 compatible with linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-amd64
and linux-image-2.6.20-1-xen-amd64?

Regards,
