Hi Sasha, The build process works on my OpenSolaris box. Thanks.
The only difference is I put [paths] default=/home/username/Xen/xen.hg in xen.hg/.hg/hgrc. There is an onnv-gate repository in the same box. Changing ~/.hgrc may impact each other. By the way, can I use hg clone to copy a xvm repository and use hg pull -u to keep it updated? (just like the onnv repository) -baolu On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 1:37 PM, Alexandra (Sasha) Fedorova < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Lu, > > Since I've just gone through the build process (with the help from Mark, > Max and Jurgen), I have documented it, so my instructions are below.
