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... .

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.

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 believe JonL has been looking into this; but that a newer version of ocaml is a prerequisite for building xapi on CentOS 6. I think he's been pursuing that with the SCL SIG, but I'm not sure how far that's gotten.

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.

Hi Gautam,

From the log it looks like it ran out of space - this could be the disk being full, but it could also be that it might be building in a tmpfs environment and you're actually running out of memory.

try changing the mock config in buildroot.git/mock/default.cfg - the line is:

config_opts['plugin_conf']['tmpfs_enable'] = True

change that to 'False' and see if that helps.

Jon
