=== Past Meetings ===
==== Wednesday 8th May 2013 ====
* Status reports:
** mcclurmc: No update
** johnthetubaguy: No update
** Azrael: No update
** djs55: I've got xapi talking to libvirt and to libxl via a specially modified xenopsd. I've also got a xapi storage API to libvirt adapter, and I'm able to run VMs on ceph now. Frediano is busy backporting some libxl and libvirt stability fixes recommended by Stefano.
*** johnthetubaguy recommends his xcp dev install scripts: https://github.com/johngarbutt/xcp-devinstall
** djs55: only problems are: (1) missing stability fixes [ but I think frediano is making progress ]; (2) a few minor tweaks still being discussed upstream; and (3) I needed to turn ceph support on (hard-coded off in the SRPM)
** Azrael: i have been afk for a bit, but i will be back to first attempts at packaging stuff in opam-repo-dev/tree/master/packages tomorrow
** johnthetubaguy: Maybe look at OPAM first?
** djs55: opam-repo-dev stuff could just be a build dependency
** z00dax and djs55 to talk about packaging options
==== Tuesday 30th April 2013 ====
* Progress building XAPI:
** mcclurmc to try johnthetubaguy scripts next week
** libvirt + XenAPI work to be discussed next week
* Packaging
** mcclurmc: chatted last week with Azrael last week
** hugesjr: completed previous OCAML work
** hugesjr: latest 0.10.2.4 from fedora libvirt built, still broken, but less broken, can find it here: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/libvirt-c6xen/
==== Tuesday 26th March 2013 ====
* Progress building XAPI:
** new OCAML 4.00.1 rpms look good
** Created a script to automate build and install: https://github.com/johngarbutt/xcp-devinstall
** johnthetubaguy blocked by issues with xenstore and vif plug scripts
** mcclurmc: taking a look vif plug issues
* Packaging
** hughesjr: moving OCAML 4.00.1 into Xen repo, and getting ocaml-find from fedora
** hughesjr: also going to try and build xen with ocaml to get oxenstored, should fix johnthetubaguy xenstore issue
** hughesjr: adding critical xen patches (http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-03/msg01592.html)
==== Tuesday 19th March 2013 ====
* Progress building XAPI:
** permissions issues solved: issue with libvhd linking
** xenstore issues hit with latest ocaml bindings to xenstore
** possibly issues with VIF plug scripts
** johnthetubaguy: to email list about move to ocamlxenstore
* Packaging
** no progress on libvirt
** OCAML current 3.12.1 rpm is missing deps to build OPAM (compiler-libs)
** z00dax trying fedora-19 OCAML build
** will need to update other ocaml-* packages too
* Informal meet up in Cambridge, Friday 22nd, contact mcclurmc for details
==== Tuesday 12th March 2013 ====
* Progress:
** permissions issues, possible fix, storage not quite working, OVS not quite working, VM not quite starting
** agreed success criteria: VM working, with OVS vif, VHD disk (+ maybe raw iSCSI disk)
* Packaging:
** work on OCAML 4.00.1 (or 3.12.1)
** OPAM is probably not needed for the rpm packaging, but may need omake, ocamlfind and others
** try to avoid automake etc. upgrade, only needed for OPAM
** Others: wait till we have a working prototype
* Next meeting:
** same time next week
==== Tuesday 5th March 2013 ====
* Quick update, only Mike and John present
