Hi Juergen,

In tools/xenstore there are living xenstored and xenstore clients.
They are no longer sharing anything apart from the "xenstore" in their
names.

Move the xenstored sources into a new directory tools/xenstored while
dropping the "xenstored_" prefix from their names. This will make it
clearer that xenstore clients and xenstored are independent from each
other.

In term of naming, I would prefer if we follow what was done for the console. 
I.e:

xenstore/client: All the clients
xenstore/daemon: C Xenstored

This would avoid the one character difference between the two directories.

Yes, that would be the alternative (apart from renaming the xenstore directory
to something different, e.g. xs-clients).

The reason I was leaning towards my solution was that the clients are meant to
be used with any xenstored implementation. This wouldn't be reflected by using
a common tools/xenstore parent directory for the clients and C xenstored.

In the end I could live with your proposal, too.


What do the other thinks?

After the large overhaul of xenstored I think such a reorg would make
sense to go into the same Xen version. Delaying it until the next
version would make potential backports for 4.18 harder.

+1.

Thanks,


Juergen
