[CentOS-virt] "Vixen" HVM shim package available in virt-xen-testing
To install the package: yum --enablerepo=virt-xen-VV-testing xen-vixen Where VV is '44', '46', or '48', depending on which version you're using. (It's the same package for all versions.) This will install the xen-vixen "shim" binary, as well as the pvshim-converter script. See XSA-254 [1] for detailed information about who should use it, why, and when. Please report both successes and failures here. :-) -George [1] https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-254.html

Please report both successes and failures here. :-)The package is missing two dependencies, without which the script won't run: mformat and xorriso. xorriso is only available from EPEL. So to use the script, enable EPEL (if you haven't already): yum install -y epel-release Then install the two prerequisites: yum install -y mformat xorriso I'll add the mformat dependency, and see what I can do about xorriso. -George
