Re: [Xen-API] [CentOS-devel] xapi for centOS 6.6

[Gautam Malu <gautam.malu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jon,
it worked, I was able to build all the packages for xenserver on CentOS 6.6 final version.

Here is the package list: https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/7616cccbe8f5c85c196eÂ

I was wondering what packages would be necessary to use Xen with xapi, I already have xen with xl installed. Could we have a package like http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xcp-xe with which we can have xenserver running on CentOS, just by switching toolstack from xl to xapi.Â

Best regards,

Gautam Malu

Hi Gautam,

From the log it looks like it ran out of space - this could be the disk being
full, but it could also be that it might be building in a tmpfs environment
and you're actually running out of memory.

try changing the mock config in buildroot.git/mock/default.cfg - the line is:

  config_opts['plugin_conf']['tmpfs_enable'] = True

change that to 'False' and see if that helps.
