Re: [Xen-users] config.sxp pain - auto start?

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, its the same script and they call the same thing which is diff on  
each system.
So my conventional Centos 5 system has virt-manager 0.5.3-10 and  
libvirt 0.3.3-1, found at the Centos repos.
Where as my Gitco-ized Centos 5 system has virt-manager 0.7.0-1 and  
libvirt 0.7.0-6.  These packages were updated using the Gitco 3.4.1  
repo so I know they are in the Xensource domain.
I think Xensource fundamentally changed domU config methodology and I  
can see the advantages of setting startup behavior within a domU  
config file because sym links are too easy to blow away.
Its too bad the SXP format is like pig latin and looks more like code.
