Re: [Xen-devel] xend running on EL5

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get my Xen 4.2 RPMs to build on both EL5 and EL6 systems. I'm just about there but I've noticed one issue which I'm not 100% sure of the best way to resolve.

/usr/sbin/xend is a simple python launcher that runs fine as is on EL6, but in EL5 it comes up with:

# service xend start
Starting xend daemon: Unknown option: -s
Unknown option: -s
usage: /usr/bin/python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.

The standard hashbang line for xend is:
#!/usr/bin/python -Es

EL5 seems to run python 2.4.3 which doesn't have the -s option.

That isn't a standard xen line, it is a hack I put into the Fedora code to try to get xend to work better with selinux in recent Fedora versions (the switch to systemd might also have been a factor). You can probably safely throw away the xend.selinux.fixes.patch (or that part of it) for EL5 and EL6 as I think the selinux problems came later.
