[Xen-users] xen-4.12.1 in CentOS 8 (el8) with python3 support - success

[Pry Mar <pryorm09@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my trace:
https://paste.debian.net/plain/1104960

To build the SRPM I needed 3 extra source builds:
pxz
libssh2-devel
dev86

To install the RPM packages I needed 1 extra source build:
bridge-utils

To get a working kernel I needed one support request to the
elrepo-kernel team. They
posted the fixed kernel earlier today.
Use the kernel-ml 5.3.4* or higher.

If you don't install the bridge-utils, there are errors in
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge

since Redhat wants to obsolete brctl and bridge-utils. There is no
problem installing the latest version from Fedora built for C8.
If you don't use this legacy package, the vif-bridge script must be
rewritten. The new syntax is:
>bridge link show

To setup dom0, I did a yum --installroot <> while inside a pv domU,
then ssh-pull the image into my dom0 drive. The tarred up basic image
was 400 MB.

cheers,
