Xen devel - Sep 2013 - Re: [Xen-users] rump kernels running on the Xen hypervisor

The sauce thickens.  Up until recently rump kernels on Xen offered only 
the kernel API (i.e. a POSIX''y set of syscalls), but we now also
support
a mostly complete user-level API courtesy of an unmodified NetBSD''s
libc
(just a few build infra modifications which will hopefully go away 
soon''ish).  Since the kernel services and libc interfaces are directly 
from a real OS, a good number of real programs will compile and work 
out-of-the-box as standalone Domu''s.

As an early proof-of-concept, I''ve thrown together a domain which boots
as a web server.  Try to it out, clone the repo (*), run 
"./buildxen.sh", and create a domain with xl create.  The service will
configure an IP address for itself using dhcp, and after that it''s port
80 as usual.
