Package: xen-tools
Version: 4.3.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Running on a system which contains Xen (xl) but not xend results in:

(full log is currently at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~xensrcts/logs/22457/test-armhf-armhf-xl/7.ts-debian-install.log
but will likely expire, so also attached).
Upstream Xen has made Xen a configure time option which defaults to off which
will release with Xen 4.4 in the new year. Also the new ARM port will not
include xend even as an option (the above log is actually from the ARM test
because the test infrastructure currently forces xend on for x86). BTW apart
from this issue xen-tools seems to work perfectly fine on armhf.
This was observed on Wheezy but by inspection the version in Sid (4.4-1)
appears to still have this issue.
I also observed a few secondary issues:
The callers of fail() appear for the most part to expect the final "\n" to be
appended to the log but logprint() does not do so (the callers of logprint
appear to get this right and pass "\n" themselves where necessary).
The overall xen-create-image command appears to succeed despite erroring out
early (no domain is actually created).
If xend is installed then the warning/advice to add a network-script setting
to xend-config.sxp is contrary to both upstream Xen and the Debian Xen
maintainer's advice, which is to use /etc/network/interfaces to configure host
level networking, see /usr/share/doc/xen-utils-4.1/README.Debian and
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/HostConfiguration/Networking. Under xl this is the
only possible way to configure networking.
FYI the xl equivalent of xend-config.sxp:(vif-script FOO) is
/etc/xen/xl.conf:vif.default.script = "FOO". Note that it is also valid with
both xl and xm to include the script in per-vif configuration string.
Thanks,
Ian.
