Thanks for the heads up - looks like he was/is on the xenophilia team
as well - if anybody contacts him, please let the list know.
I'm never sure where the best place for Debian/Xen discussions are
(debian-user has been suggested, which makes sense), but since I've
had a few off-list conversations (about the unofficial packages I
posted, as well as general topics related to the debian/xen packages),
I thought I should post back to the list. (Thanks to everybody who
took the time to test.)
Since my original post, I've added a few packages for testing to
address two of the issues raised: more modules, and a more
xen-friendly update-grub. However, in order to keep from cluttering
the list with my ramblings, I'm keeping most of my updates/comments on
the following page (this is the "bloggiest" part of the wiki; feel
free to leave comments/make edits, but if too much is removed I might
get very confused...)
http://www.option-c.com/xwiki/Debian_Xen_2.0.6_Packages
Three disclaimers/explanations:
1) We have had a few problems with our web hosting company with
regards to uptime (rather amusing, at least to me). Apologies if you
have had problems getting something you need, we're working on it...
2) I am not a Debian Developer (I already mentioned that, but it bears
repeating). Also, there is already a package maintainer for the Debian
Xen packages who may or may not want to continue that role, and there
have been several other volunteers for co-maintainer/maintainer if the
official maintainer no longer has time for this package. So I'm not
trying to take over or anything like that, I just want to have
packages I can use, try to help the process as far as I can, and - if
possible - avoid too much duplication of effort.
3) If you happen to explore our wiki and wonder "why didn't they put
this on the offical Xen wiki?", it's because we felt that some of the
information was just too specific to our needs to justify putting on
the main wiki. We are trying to augment, not supplant, the existing
documentation.
