Bug#402249: [Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#402249: [PATCH] include necessary headers to build libvirt with xen support

Don't even try to build-depend against. Since libvirt would depend on xen-utils it would make libvirt uninstallable on autobuilders too so only including the headers doesn't look like a solution. Why don't you want xen-utils on the autobuilders? Will the Debian Xen team split out libxenstore as Ubuntu does?

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.
