Ouch. marked for fixing. Just started getting the dev branch setup on
auto-building. I'll cut a new one later this evening to fix the lib
issue.

Yep. I was out of it when I rebuilt the indexes. 8-P

Feh. Didn't come across as whining. so don't worry about it.

Any other bugs or cleanups that you have come across yet?

btw, did you check out the xenlinuxbuilder package I created? make-kpkg
works nicely for Debian systems, but if you want to create kernels for
non-debian systems you wil have to either use the xen source tree or
xenlinuxbuilder. I plan on having xenlinuxbuilder use make-kpkg when the
target packaging is .deb, and the standard compile for .tgz. 

I should probably make xenlinuxbuilder available as a tar.gz 8-P.
