Hope this doesn't appear to be singling you out, but this is a good opportunity to highlight some patch submitting good practices:

1) Your patch doesn't contain a Signed-off-by line so it cannot be applied.

2) Your patch is attached with an improper MIME type. If you cannot use a more sane mailer, you should also inline your patches (it's impossible for me to actually comment on your patch in a note without some nasty copy-paste stuff).

3) You include no explanation of why your patch is needed. It seems somewhat arbitrary to add /etc/xen/auto to the default search path. Why do you need this and why do you think other people would need this?

4) Your patch is based at a weird location (within tools/). It's usually best to patch at the top of the repository (diff -u a/tools/xen/xm/create.py b/tools/....). Actually, if you just use hg export, it'll do the right thing for you.

Please resubmit with the appropriate corrections.

Thanks!

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
