Hi All,

I would like to give the OCAML version of xenstored a shot, since the
older version (in C) takes a long time to start up a large number of VMs.
I have a new machine (Ubuntu 10.04 64bit) that I plan to give this a try
with. Is there something else that I need to do besides the following: 

1. Build the 2.6.32 pvops kernel as specified in:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps   
   < DONE >  
2. Download the xen-4.0.0 stable version from
http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html 
3. change Config.mk flag CONFIG_OCAML_XENSTORED ?= n to "y"  as" 
   CONFIG_OCAML_XENSTORED ?= y 
4. "make xen", make "tools"  and then the "make xen-install" and "make
install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG="  

Is there something else needed?  Are there any recent patches to the OCAML
xenstored that I need to apply?

Thank you,
Yuvraj
