Hello Bastian, Guido, Richard, I think that, split out libxenstore is in debian packaging model, and is the best alternate to provide the headers into xen package. According to my knoledge, maybe I'm wrong, isolate the headers as Ubuntu does, is in debian police. This way isn't simple, because we'll need to do a big changes in Xen package. Well, I'll look the xen package structure to know what need to do.

It simply installs the necessary headers so we're able to enable xen support in libvirt for the default builds. Please apply. libvirt redefines several parts of this headers. So they can include the missing pieces also. We include redefinitions in a very few places, particularly where the Xen headers used to include definitions which have since been removed. Last week a bug was raised about this, I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-December/msg00251.html The greater point is that the headers which this patch includes are part of the public Xen API, and these header files are normally exported. Except that in both Debian and Fedora, because of the specific way that Debian and Fedora packaging call into a part of the Xen system of makefiles, they don't get exported. Specifically: $(MAKE) -C $(SOURCE_DIR)/tools install [...] Debian only do the 'make install' in a subdirectory. If Debian did a normal 'make install', these headers would be installed, but there are other drawbacks to doing that, so exporting the headers by hand is the next best thing.

Dear Debian Xen maintainers, for your convenience I attach Richard's patch directly. It simply installs the necessary headers so we're able to enable xen support in libvirt for the default builds. Please apply. Cheers, -- Guido P.S.: building a separate libxen*-dev package (like Ubuntu does) looks like a better long term solution From 18915d87a7eebffe3264c43164aba82a345efb15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido Guenther [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 14:31:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] apply patch from Richard Jones to install the necessary headers to build libvirt with xen support (Closes: #402249) diff --git a/debian/rules.real b/debian/rules.real index e1c77e1..49c09ac 100644 --- a/debian/rules.real +++ b/debian/rules.real @@ -115,9 +115,15 @@ install-utils_$(ARCH): $(STAMPS_DIR)/build-utils_$(ARCH) dh_clean -k @rm -rf $(DIR) $(MAKE) -C $(SOURCE_DIR)/tools install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/$(DIR) DISTDIR=$(CURDIR)/$(DIR) $(CONFIG) + mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/io $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/hvm $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/arch-x86 + install -m 644 $(SOURCE_DIR)/xen/include/public/io/*.h $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/io + install -m 644 $(SOURCE_DIR)/xen/include/public/hvm/*.h $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/hvm + install -m 644 $(SOURCE_DIR)/xen/include/public/arch-x86/*.h $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/arch-x86 + install -m 644 $(SOURCE_DIR)/xen/include/public/*.h $(CURDIR)/$(DIR)/usr/include/xen/ install -D -m644 debian/xen-utils.NEWS $(PACKAGE_DIR)/usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE_NAME)/NEWS install -D -m644 debian/xen-utils.README.Debian $(PACKAGE_DIR)/usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE_NAME)/README.Debian dh_install --sourcedir=$(DIR) usr/lib + dh_install --sourcedir=$(DIR) usr/include dh_install --sourcedir=$(DIR) usr/share/xen-$(VERSION)$(ABINAME) dh_pycentral dh_strip
