Xen users - Jun 2010 - Unofficial Xen 4.0.1-rc3-pre src.rpm package for Fedora available

Hello,

I just hacked together Xen 4.0.1-rc3-pre src.rpm package for Fedora 13,
and I thought I''d share it. It should work with Fedora 12 aswell.

download-link:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/xen-4.0.1-0.1.rc3.fc13.src.rpm


Instructions to compile/install:

- Check http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 wiki page and install the
packages/rpms listed there!
- Download xen-4.0.1-0.1.rc3.fc13.src.rpm
- rpm -i xen-4.0.1-0.1.rc3.fc13.src.rpm
- rpmbuild -bb xen-4.0.1-0.1.rc3.fc13.src.rpm

After a while you should see:

- cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
- rpm -Uvh xen*4.0.1*.rpm
- Install Xen dom0 capable kernel, edit grub.conf, reboot

Note that Xen 4.0.1-rcX is required for the latest xen/stable-2.6.32.x kernels
(2.6.32.15+),
they won''t work with Xen 4.0.0 anymore.

This unofficial src.rpm works for me, hopefully for you aswell :)

I think I will add the relevant patch to the xen 3.4.3 F-12 and F-13 
packages, as I would like to keep them basically functional with the 
xen/stable-2.6.32.x kernels. I will do something with the rawhide package 
as well, though I haven''t yet decided whether just to add the patch or
go
for the latest xen 4 rc.

Yeah, it''s this patch:
http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg?rev/0e1521f654f2

I''d prefer moving rawhide to Xen 4.0.x.

Rawhide is at 4.0.0 at the moment, so unless 4.0.1 comes out quickly, it 
is a choice between just adding the patch or picking a 1-rc.

Can you include Gitco-like post-install script on your Xen rpm? It''d
make installing easier since if you have installed a working dom0
kernel RPM before, xen RPM can automatically adjust xen.gz line.

Can you also include the link to a working 2.6.32.15+ dom0 kernel for Fedora?

Hmm.. good idea, although I don''t have much time to work on that
src.rpm currently.

I pulled the latest from Jeremy''s xen.git xen/stable-2.6.32.x and
compiled it myself.

The kernel at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2254110
was built 4 days ago. It does need xen-4.0.1-rc2 or later, or a 
patched earlier version. (The version says 2.6.32.14 but it includes the 
patches that differentiate .14 and .15).

There are xen builds in the Fedora system now (3.4.3-2 or 4.0.0-2 
depending on the version), with the patch added to make them work with the 
latest xen/stable-2.6.32.x kernels. If you don''t want to wait for them
to
make their way through QA etc. you can find them at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7
