since september 26th tetex-texi2html has been renamed texi2html and a wrong provide has been corrected in texlive Xen needs to be rebuilt with a modified spec file Line 83 from : BuildRequires: tetex-texi2html to : BuildRequires: texi2html
on dev mailing list, october 5th, Thomas Spuhler proposed to rebuild it, if there is no maintainer... this bug report is just a reminder, as it was proposed on the ML .
I am not sure that the packager read more the bugzilla instead of the website: http://check.mageia.org/dependencies.html
Thomas Spuhler reads this and the devel ML :) He's trying to rebuild XEN , but the problem doesn't simply get resolved with having changed the BR from tetex-texi2html to texi2html : "XEN currently doesn't build. There is an issue filed upstreams " Some packages which are required to build xen, (ocaml for instance), have been updated since the last build of xen in august ... perhaps this may induce some conflicts (spec file for xen : line24 source15 ocaml 3.11.0.tar.gz line71 BuildRequires: ocaml but for 2 weeks now, ocaml version in mageia has changed to 3.12.1 ...) What looked simple at a first glance reveals other problems that wouldn't have been found ... if xen did not have to be rebuild so soon ! an anecdotal bug report may become problematic :(
I add Funda Wang to the CC list ... He could add a BR 2 months ago and build... He's perhaps
CC: (none) => fundawang
Sorry ... I said : he's perhaps the wisest to help Thomas

The package currently doesn't build. Upstream has already in issue listed. I keep watching, but appreciate Funda's help anyway

xen also need a rebuild for the new ocaml (to build the xen-ocaml package). BTW, Mandriva seems to have something that builds now.
It seems to be quite OK now : It has been successfully built on november 3rd with the BuilRequire : texi2html : xen xen-doc xen-hypervisor and xen-ocaml rpms are now present in the repo... But reading the spec file it seems that it has been built with an old version of ocaml (version 3.11.0) provided as source... beside this : Mageia is now providing ocaml version 3.12.1 since october 1st Perhaps need to rebuild with this new source ?! I add Dexter to cc list...

I'm taking care of the ocaml packages these days. AFAIK, the ocaml source is only used to build the xen-ocaml binding package. I'm investigating if that xen-ocaml package is effectively broken (the building system of xen is quite complicated and not only uses the source of ocaml, but also uses the current ocaml). In the worst case, it only breaks these bindings, which are not currently used within Mageia. I think we can close this bug report. I will open another one if xen-ocaml is broken.

I just check it our from the repo and the package doesn't build on my cauldron box
