Orthogonal to the dependency issue, we don't have kernel-xen0 packages
in Rawhide; the GIT tree Xen rebases to (-stable) and the GIT tree the
Rawhide kernel rebases to (-git) are two moving targets that aren't
going to apply against each other cleanly. So, we're left without a
Xen kernel until we get close enough to a release for someone to care
enough to make the patch apply by hand.
I haven't seen any list discussion about this, so maybe this is a
good time for some -- does anyone have plans for getting Xen kernels
into Rawhide?
until the Xen people get their act together (eg base on -git and not on ancient -stable
kernels, and like
actually tries to make any effort to work with upstream) it will be an endless chase
without a winner.
