[Xen-users] build xen 4.5.0 from tarball on Debian 8 with systemd-219 [success]

[Mark Pryor <tlviewer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Xen,

after failing with the combo of system-219 + ocamltools (4.01) in Ubuntu Vivid (15.04) I wanted to see

if Debian can get this combination right.

After learning that the Debian experimental repo has a build of systemd-219 I went to work.

First cloned my Deb8 LVM with the buildroot into a new LVM.

//appended the repo

cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<'EOL'

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main
EOL

// import new sources

sudo apt-get update -t experimental

// check for recent systemd build

sudo apt-cache policy systemd -t experimental

------- snip -----

systemd:

  Installed: 215-12

  Candidate: 219-7

----------- snip -----

// cherry picked the new build

apt-get install systemd libsystemd-daemon-dev -t experimental

 sudo dpkg -l | grep systemd | grep ii
ii  libpam-systemd:amd64           219-7                        amd64 
ii  libsystemd-daemon-dev:amd64    219-7                        amd64
ii  libsystemd-dev:amd64           219-7                        amd64    
ii  libsystemd0:amd64              219-7                        amd64      
ii  systemd                        219-7                        amd64    
ii  systemd-sysv                   219-7                        amd64

Bottom line is this works unlike the same combo in Ubuntu VIvid (15.04)

Bravo Debian.

cheers,
