Hi Dave,

How are you building packages for Debian?

I had to hack on xenserver:buildroot/blob/master/scripts/deb/configure.sh and some other files to be able to build the packages for Debian

Is there any other way? Does worth to send a PR with these changes?

Thank you,

But build xen-api accroding to README.markdown at https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api.git on ubuntu 12.04 always failed. There are dependences not in documents, like blktap-dev, and also some basic build failure, like obuild.

For components like âxenopsdâ, âxcp-networkdâ etc I prefer to install all the dependencies in CentOS (or Debian) via xenserver-core[1]. I can then clone the repo and build the binaries.

For âxapiâ itself the xenserver-core .spec file references a branch with a couple of build fixes in it. These need to be tidied up and merged to masterâ Bob Ball (cc:d) and I are trying to sort this out.

I think we should try to create a âvagrant boxâ configuration to help people set this up â what do you think?

For âxapiâ, there are a few unit tests which run as part of the build. Thereâs also a program called âquicktestâ (in the xen-api repo) which can install VMs, suspend/resume, migrate etc. After that we normally run system tests via xenrt[2]

I think xapi is tested as part of the XenServer openstack CI[3]

HTH,
