See my comments at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2006-June/msg00154.html along with Chris's response. Fedora should be using matched versions of hypervisor, xenlinux patch and tools, at least as much as possible. In any case, providing the xen-unstable changeset on which each is based would be helpful to all parties involved. Granted, the linux-2.6-xen.patch comes from linux-2.6.tip-xen rather than xen-unstable directly, but if you trace it back, you can find out the xen-unstable changeset on which it's based. At that point, snapshotting the hypervisor to match becomes relatively easy, and so does providing the changeset in the release/changelog/description/etc. Here's an example, if it's helpful: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg cd linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg xen_unstable_cset=$(hg log -v | awk -F '[ :]' \ '/^xen-unstable changeset:/{print $(NF-1);exit}') So then, make a matched hypervisor: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-unstable.hg cd xen-unstable.hg hg up -C $xen_unstable_cset tar cjf ../xen-$xen_unstable_cset.tar.bz2 xen Regards, Aron
