Hi, I am a masters student at IIIT Hyderabad, India. I am writing a GOSC proposal for CentOS organization. It's about delivering a custom installer ISO which delivers Xen 4.4 stack on CentOS 6. full proposal: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/public/google/gsoc2015/gautam_malu/5629499534213120 I want to port xapi on CentOS 6 as part of it. There has been some previous efforts to port xapi on CentOS 6 but nothing official, as follows: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XAPI_On_CentOS_6 https://github.com/JohnGarbutt/xen-api-devinstall http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Ceph_and_libvirt_technology_preview i was wondering if there is any other project going on to port xapi on CentOS 6 > CentOS 6.3 with XenServer being fully open source now.

I think he's been pursuing that with the SCL SIG, but I'm not sure how far that's gotten. -George
I tried out building https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.6 It builds around 300 packages and then it just gets stuck while building ocaml-core-kernl-111.28.00-1.el6 . build log: https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/92a6199ee4ed100b1b92 I was looking for more upstream version of ocaml-core-kernel for el6. As you were saying Jonathan is already working on that http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/jonludlam/ocaml402/epel-6-x86_64/ . I am hoping if ocaml4.02 is ready by May,2015 I could use to build xapi for CentOS 6.6. Meanwhile I can try out https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.5.

Thanks Jon, it worked, I was able to build all the packages for xenserver on CentOS 6.6 final version. Here is the package list: https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/7616cccbe8f5c85c196e I was wondering what packages would be necessary to use Xen with xapi, I already have xen with xl installed. Could we have a package like http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xcp-xe with which we can have xenserver running on CentOS, just by switching toolstack from xl to xapi.
