I was curious if anyone else was hacking on a gtk front end to xend. I started one on monday in pygtk because the core bindings for xend are written in python. This is both my frist python and pygtk experience, although i am familiar with gtk+. I have a few early screenshots at the following url. There should be descent functionality by friday. I am considering using gnome-vte for console support, but this would definitely prevent running on win32 clients. Although that is not a primary goal of mine, it might be for others. Any ideas, comments, suggestions are welcome. http://people.mosaix.net/chris/images/xenmanager/ -- Christian Hergert Mosaix Communications, Inc.

I hope to do so friday or over the weekend. ~ chris On 5/26/05, aq <aquynh@gmail.com> wrote:> On 5/26/05, Christian Hergert <christian.hergert@gmail.com> wrote: > > I was curious if anyone else was hacking on a gtk front end to xend.

Perhaps you guys could get together and pool resources? It would be great if there was a GUI for the unstable tree in time for the 3.0 release. Keir recently hid the xensv code from the tree (a web-based front end) as the code had rotted. I''m pretty agnostic as to whether we have a thin or thick client interface. If soemone wants to resusitate xensv we could even have both... How are you interfacing with xend? Invoking xm commands, or issuing requests to the xend control socket directly? I guess the latter is more tasteful, but the former is better documented.

Im actually requireing libxen-python on the thin client box and utilizing the xen.xend.XendClient http pieces. i setup a trac install with subversion at http://xenmanager.dronestudios.com. you can check out the repo with svn co https://monosvn.mosaix.net/xenmanager/trunk/xenmanager.
