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_ma...
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 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.
