This focus of this endeavor is PPC but I believe that IA64 also benefits. Patch summary: 1: Instead of using a dated snapshot (which no longer exists) use buildroot-snapshot. The last time I built a xm-test ramdisk, the buildroot-snapshot was broken, and I had to go back a few days to find a working one. I'm wary of using buildroot-snapshot for that reason. Does anyone work within the buildroot community? Perhaps we could persuade them to keep released versions around, rather than just the expiring, daily snapshots? Ewan, if you have some problem with patch 1/6, could you still apply the rest to xen-unstable? 2/6 wouldn't apply cleanly, but should be easy to do by hand. I've got no particular problem with these patches (we'll host the buildroot tar on xenbits, which was the only query). The tree's feature-frozen now though -- we're at RC2 -- so these will drop in immediately after the release.

Hi Keir, Why are you doing it this way? I thought a staging tree was somewhere you could test builds prior to moving changesets to the live tree, so you could yank the changesets, reset the staging tree, etc. without affecting anybody. Shouldn't there be a separate staging tree for xen-3.0.3-testing? Plus if xen-unstable is staging for xen-3.0.3-testing, then it seems like branching was pointless.
