Re: [Xen-devel] Which exactly Linux kernel version was used to build the Xen 3.1 binary?

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure the linux-2.6-xen.hg tree is used for anything anymore.  It was 
part of the effort to upstream the Xen patches into mainline Linux, which has 
since taken another path.  I'm not sure the tree is used for anything... 
maybe we shouldn't publish it anymore?

You should find the changesets you want in:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg

This tree will also be used to push bug fixes for testing, and occasional 
tagging as point releases.

The tree contains a Linux "sparse" tree, and the build system will download a 
kernel tarball and patch it to make a Xen-enabled Linux.

HTH,
Cheers,
Mark
