[opensuse-virtual] Novell-compatible make world for Xen
We are building a security oriented hypervisor based on the openSUSE 11.1 Xen source code. If we run "make world" using that source, make goes after the linux-2.6.18-xen.hg source code. We can figure a way around this by ourselves, but we would like to do it in a way that remains compatible with the Novell approach. Is there any documentation on how to do this, so that we don't create a problem by defining yet another build approach? Just downloading the openSUSE Xen source RPM apparently does not give us anything but the conventional Xen Makefile that wants to phone home.

xen.spec is telling you how we build hypervisor and tools (without the 2.6.18 kernel ot anything else) - perhaps you want to use this for reference? Jan

Jan, Thanks for the quick reply. The spec file is what I had in mind when I said we could figure a way around the issue. I was concerned that we might create a problem by doing only that; that there were some other openSUSE practices we need to follow. Being refugees from Fedora, we are concerned that we don't understand openSUSE and may do things the wrong way. So we are OK as long as we follow the xen.spec?

Sure for now, and as long as you follow eventual changes to xen.spec (which at the moment I don't expect to happen any time soon for the particular area we're talking about), then also for the future.
