Re: [Xen-API] RFC: Shuffling xen-api-libs

[Jonathan Ludlam <Jonathan.Ludlam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heh, you're probably right, bad example.

Good examples of findlib packages that should definitely die:

xen-utils (utility to finesse the calling of a script to modify the xen command 
line)
uuid (not really uuids at all, just random strings in a particular format)
xml-light2 (only exists because we didn't have time to change xapi to use xmlm 
properly)

So what I'm looking for is general consensus about which things should go and 
which shouldn't. Sounds like cpuid might be useful in its own right, maybe. Are 
there others?
