OK, I've got a basic initial port of the xen package up to 4.4.0. But before I post that, I wanted to get comments on a new method of managing the Xen part of the patchqueue. You can find the RFC branch here: repo: http://github.com/gwd/sig-virt-xen branch: out/git-am-patchqueue-RFC-v1 The basic idea is to put as much as possible into a 'git am' file. This file can easily be imported into git on top of a Xen git repository with "git am [filename]", rebased / edited like any branch, and the exported again with "git format-patch -N --stdout [release-tag]". I've got a copy of the Xen repo with the patchqueue applied as a branch here: repo: http://github.com/gwd/xen branch: centos/pq/4.2.4-v1 Unfortunately this only works for patches to things in the core Xen repo; patches to qemu, or the out-of-tree blktap will need to be managed separately still. However, at the moment those patches are kind of small. Having the patchqueue in this format made rebasing to 4.4 a *lot* easier. Any thoughts? -George
