Adam mentioned to me in IRC that he doesn't have the time to deal with
this. Since I use these packages daily through my work projects and it
is important for my company to have high quality packages, I volunteer
as a (comaintainer.
I have built my packages for 2.0.6 and made some minor changes I
consider enhancements including resurrecting support for the 2.4 series
that died off in the last version Adam provided. I split the
kernel-patch-xen deb into two separate packages for 2.4 and 2.6. I also
built a (very unofficial) kernel-source-2.4.30, merging in all
applicable patches from the (also unofficial) kernel-source-2.4.29 tree.
This was necessary for a project taking place here that is using private
kernel code that hasn't been forward ported to 2.6.
You can find my Xen 2.0.6 patches at http://debian.nsp.co.nz/xen2.0.6,
comments welcome.
