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.

Best regards, Gautam Malu

I want to port xapi on CentOS 6 as part of it. There has been some

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.
