howto build debian xen kernel?

[Jonas Meurer <jonas@freesources.org>]

Hello,

I just tried to build a debian xen kernel, based on linux-source-2.6.18,
linux-patch-debian-2.6.18 and kernel-package.

According to the docs i found, i can apply the debian kernel sources in
the following way:

resivo:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18$ ../kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/debian 2.6.18-10

unfortunately, the xen (and vserver) patches are not in the default
patchset, but in an extra 'series'. so i thought that the following
should work:

resivo:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18$ ../kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/debian 2.6.18-10-extra
Error: Target revision is not in our list of revisions

obviously, it doesn't.

So my simple question is: how do i build a debian xen kernel with
make-kpkg from debian kernel sources?

The official debian kernel images don't use make-kpkg, so it wouldn't
help to look in debian/rules from linux-2.6.

I didn't find any documentation about that topic. All howtos/tutorials/...
that talk about building a xen kernel, use the original xen kernel
sources, not the debian kernel source with patches.

greetings,
 jonas
