           Summary: xen binary packages unpack into "dist" directory instead
                    of a directory named with a version string
           Product: Xen
           Version: unstable
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unspecified
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: henning_sprang@xxxxxx


I understand this is the most simple way to pack it after compile, but it's not
nice, for example for people that unpack all new versions in /usr/loca/src/, 
or when unpacking two versions to diff them

For my own packaging needs I wrote a script that does what I think how packages
should look like.

Another solution would be to just go one level up after compiling and tar the
directory xen-version/dist/

My script, that is a bit more complex, therefore eliminates the additional dist
level(the hostname and additional info portion of the package name should be
remove for offical xen packages):

#! /bin/sh

# script to build a xen tarball with uninstall make target
# Henning Sprang

# make this generically working for all xen versions...

if [ -z $1 ]; then
        echo "please give the xen version number as argument - required for the
package name"
        exit 1
else
        VERSION=$1
fi

# TODO: this is optional! 
#make distclean && make kclean && make dist
# make world

# TODO: only package when make world returns with no error!

TMPDIR=`mktemp -d`

PACKAGE_ID=${VERSION}_henning_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%s`

TARGET_DIR=${TMPDIR}/${PACKAGE_ID}

mkdir $TARGET_DIR

echo "build on `hostname` with ` gcc --version`" >
$TARGET_DIR/BUILDSTAMP-HENNING
# TODO: built on distribution ...

cp -a dist/ Makefile Config.mk buildconfigs/ config/ install.sh $TARGET_DIR


cd  dist/install/boot/

KERNELVERSION=`find . -name "vmlinuz*-xen*" -type f | cut -d - -f 2-`

echo "#!/bin/sh" >$TARGET_DIR/build-initrd.sh
echo "depmod -a $KERNELVERSION" >>$TARGET_DIR/build-initrd.sh
echo "mkinitramfs -k -o /boot/initrd.img-$KERNELVERSION $KERNELVERSION"
>>$TARGET_DIR/build-initrd.sh

cd -

cd $TMPDIR

tar cvfz $PACKAGE_ID.tar.gz $PACKAGE_ID/

cd -

mv $TMPDIR/$PACKAGE_ID.tar.gz ..

rm -rf $TMPDIR
