[xen-tools-discuss] Re: Some Problems building a checkout on an ubuntu system

[Simon Hürlimann]

Wow, fast response!

I don't want to interrupt your holidays, but... well... here's some more
small things;-)

More Ubuntu support
===================
Possibly picky, but adding the following lines to xen-tools.conf seems
to be consequent, given the new hooks for these releases:

# mirror_hardy=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
# mirror_intrepid=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

Lintian warning
===============
The debian/copyright file doesn't have a year for your copyright claim.
Lintian doesn't like that.

Possible patch:
-Copyright Holder: Steve Kemp <steve at steve.org.uk>
+Copyright (C) 2005-2008 Steve Kemp <steve at steve.org.uk>

Well, you know better;-)

Ok, that's it for the moment:-) I've implemented simple DRBD support
some time ago, will look if I can create a patch to the current tree if
you're interested...

Thanx
Simon
