Xen 4.0 + Kernel 2.6.32 + Debian

Xen 4.0 + Kernel 2.6.32 + Debian

[Sassy Natan]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 432 bytes --]

Hi Xen Users,


I have started in building a Linux Deb Packages to include Xen 4.0 and Dom0
Kernel 2.6.32.

I have two questions:

   - Is there any news about when we will see the dom0 support in the
   mainline?
   - Does version 4.0 of xen plans to release also a stable kernel? Like for
   example kernel 2.6.18


I would like to know this in order to make Debian packages ready for the
stable release of xen 4.0


Thanks
Sassy

Jeremy can answer this. Currently Konrad is refactoring the swiotlb patches
to make them upstram acceptable.

I think APIC stuff has been fixed already. How about ACPI?

2.6.34 merge window is getting close soon..

Xen 4.0.0 will use pv_ops dom0 as a default, from Jeremy's git tree.

I think the plan has been to ship with 2.6.32 based pv_ops dom0, see:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-12/msg01127.html

linux-2.6.18-xen can also be used with Xen 4.0.0, if someone wants to do that.

Hi Sassy!

 You'll start this packaging from scratch?
 I wanna pack the Xen Cloud Platform for Debian, what do you think?

Cheers!

The idea of Xen Clout Platform is that it includes the full integrated platform 
that is tested as a whole:

- Linux distribution (CentOS)
- Dom0 kernel (2.6.27 based on SLES11 kernel-xen)
- Xen hypervisor (3.4.x)
- Management toolstack (xapi)

So if you change the distribution to Debian, then it would be kind of a different product :)

Yet there's no reason the platform shouldn't be linux distribution agnostic.

The choice of linux distribution (and for that matter dom0 kernel and 
xen version) is arbitrary, and just
happens to be what we test and develop on.

Hi!

 I believe that if we can do something like that...:

echo "deb http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list
echo "deb-src http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" >>
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list

aptitude update
aptitude install xen-cloud-platform    # or via some tasksel to install
XCP...
aptitude update ; aptitude dist-upgrade -y    # To get the new version of
the XCP

...will be awesome!

 Don't you guys think?
 I'm a BIG Debian fan, so, I'm a suspect to talk...

Cheers!
Thiago

I guess Pasi Kärkkäinen is Right here! We should leave XCP out of the Debian
repo, so If ppl want to use XCP then they will need to download the all pkg.
This will also help in debugging and fixing problems since everyone will use
the same version.
