Dear Xen users, I have been using Xen for a couple of months, and have decided to look at the source code to play around with it. The Xen version I have been using comes out of the box with Centos 5.5, (Xen 3.1.2). I use this because I have had too many problems with Xen on other platforms and it works without any problems. I have been looking for the source code for this version so that I can make any changes to it before recompiling, but it is not available online for some reason. I tried to install the 3.1.3, but it required dependencies which I was unable to install because there is a problem with the internet connection on our Centos which we have been unable to solve. I was wondering if anybody might know why the source code for version 3.1.2 isn''t available or if there is somewhere I can find it. Alternatively, if anybody could recommend the easiest way to look at the source code (eg Centos 5 with Xen installed very easily, with no problems at all), and the best way to setup the environment to make changes to the source code, then I would be really grateful. I have been looking for any such howtos or guides but have been unable to find anything. All the best, Muhammed _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

So it''s not ONLY xen-3.1.12 as distributed from xen.org> I use this because I have > had too many problems with Xen on other platforms and it works without any > problems.

For example, source RPM for latest centos 5.8 (which includes xen): http://vault.centos.org/5.8/os/SRPMS/ Whether you know how to use the SRPM, however, is another matter. Try reading this page and the links from that: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM -- Fajar
