Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Fix xl vncviewer
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 18:24:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296584702-20138-1-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

xl vncviewer does not work at all.  In this series I fix it.

Sadly the protocol spoken by xend and qemu is very bad.  xl makes some
assumptions about the protocol spoken by qemu which are not currently
true.  In patch 1 I make some interim changes to qemu have it do what
xl already expects, including storing the password in xenstore.  (This
is no worse than xend, which stores the password in two places
already, one of which is overwritten by qemu at startup...)

Patches 2-6 are fairly straightforward bugfixes to xl.
