[MirageOS-devel] Xen vs Qubes target

[Hannes Mehnert <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm still struggling why there is a separate `-t qubes` target from the
`-t xen`, and furthermore why qubes-mirage-firewall etc. use `-t xen`
(and not `-t qubes`). From my understanding, the main difference in the
mirage tool is the default IP configuration, which uses
Qubes_ipv4.Make(..) for the qubes target, and Static_ipv4.Make(..) for
the Xen target.

I'm asking since I intended to work on "use /qubes-random-seed from
QubesDB to seed the RNG", but I'm not sure how the logic should be to
decide whether to use this or not, I initially thought "if the target is
Qubes", but given the above, it may be more suitable to read this value
"if qubesdb is used and as well the random number generator" -- but
unfortunately I don't know how such a logic could be embedded in functoria.

Any ideas / pointers?


best,

hannes
