I've pushed patch 1, and refreshed the leap container. I have also pushed a tumbleweed container, but the build is currently failing in Qemu. https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/andyhhp/xen/-/jobs/265301303 I have also pushed patch 2, because that is the dockerfile which matches the current container. However, I won't push patch 3 (adding it into CI) until the build errors are resolved. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
