Hi Eric, I'm currently in the process of revamping the ebuilds, as they need to be updated to xen-2.0.3 (and soon xen-2.0.4). I'm planning a rewrite such that the kernel ebuilds depend on the xen ebuild, with proper version dependencies included. The idea is, that the xen ebuild will install all of it's source etc into /usr/src/ and from there the kernel ebuilds can use the correct files to patch a pristine kernel source tree into a xen kernel source using the currently installed version of xen. Hopefully it will be automated enough that when you install a new version of xen, new kernel source trees will automatically be created tvia the dependencies in the ebuilds.

I can still give you a copy of the originals however. They just don't work terribly well with some of the newer versions of xen (the 2.4 kernel source tree isn't created correctly).

I would be happy to try out any ebuilds.

I'm curious to know, would people like to be able to emerge several different versions of the kernel source trees side by side? I know it would be advantageous for myself, but I'm not entirely sure that it would be possible. As far as I can tell the kernel version is dependent on the xen version? Could one of the xen developers confirm this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to install version x.y.z of xen, and then install several different versions of the kernel tree using the same version of xen.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Scott.
