Hi, Anybody knows where I can find Xen 4.0 in debian packages, so I can easily install Xen on my Ubuntu (without having to compile them)? I searched around, but only found older deb packages. Thanks, J _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Packages can be found in debian experimental. Please see here http://packages.debian.org/experimental/xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 and http://packages.debian.org/experimental/xen-hypervisor-4.0-i386 On 02.06.2010 12:08, Jun Koi wrote:> Hi, > > Anybody knows where I can find Xen 4.0 in debian packages, so I can > easily install Xen on my Ubuntu (without having to compile them)? > > I searched around, but only found older deb packages. > > Thanks, > J > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel > >_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Somebody please correct me if I''m wrong.. -- Pasi Hi, I am supposed to be doing the package for the HVM, but unfortunately, I didn''t receive the support from this list when I asked about it. However, you can find it here: http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/debian/pool/lenny/main/x/xen-qemu-dm-3.4/ and here: http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/debian/pool/lenny/main/x/xen-qemu-dm-4.0/ Note that even if both are targeting SID as always in Debian, the above packages are compiled for/under a Debian Lenny. The reason is that I think it''s best to maintain a Stable ftp archive at GPLHost, so that we have a good source for backports that I can control without anyone influencing me, while the Debian archive contains the SID / testing packages. This way every flavor of Debian can be addressed, and people can choose. I might switch to using backports.org when I am an official DD (see below). Since there''s still an issue with that last one, namely an invalid option ''-vcpu_avail'' that I don''t know were is comming from, I can''t have the 4.0 in Debian just yet. Also, since I am yet waiting for the approval of the DAM team to be an official DD (Debian Developer), I can''t upload xen-qemu-dm-3.4 in Debian without sponsoring, and so far, nobody did want to sponsor this upload even if I asked multiple times. I have passed all the steps to become DD, only the final last one is remaining, which is the check of all past actions and creation of my Debian account. So I guess it wont take much longer now (even if I have been waiting for a full month for that last step already). When I become DD, I''ll spend more time on having a fully working package with them help of others for testing. So, if these 2 issues (sponsoring and that -vcpu-avail issue) are solved, then you''ll have HVM support in Debian too. Thomas P.S: To tell the truth, I''m quite disappointed that I didn''t receive the help that some said they would give for these 2 issues (sponsoring, and that -vcpu-avail option that is coming from I don''t know where). Maybe I didn''t insist enough, and they missed my emails in this list? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

@Thomas GoirandI look forward to testing out your HVM support after you submit
your package into the Debian repositories :)
By adding qemu-dm support, will users be able to use stubdom-hvms? Also does
your package address "blktap2" as Pasi pointed out may be missing?

I think Debian packages don''t include HVM support.. blktap2 is also
missing.
Somebody please correct me if I''m wrong..

your package only includes the qemu-dm, so clearly that doesnt work.
I never wrote that you need ONLY this, of course, you ALSO need the

Blktap tools are missing due to openssl license issues. That is 100% correct, and there''s nothing I can do about the incompatibility of the OpenSSL and the GPL. By the way, this should also be an issue in the upstream Xen sources, not only in Debian. I am surprised to see that it doesn''t seem to be an issue for xensource... If I remember well, the bad clause is about advertising, where the author of OpenSSL ask that their product name be written when advertising about the functionalities. That being said, maybe it would be possible to make a package for the blktap2 that would go in non-free. I could also do that work if I get some directions on how to do it, eg what "upstream" source should I get, and what binary should I package. That is, if I get enough time after I get approved as a DD before Squeeze is frozen.
