[Pkg-xen-devel] xendomains and hypervisor splitting

[Guido Trotter]

So, let's get started!

One of the first changes we might want to do is move away
/etc/sysconfig/xendomains... We should put it either in /etc/default/xendomains
(since it's an init script configuration) or /etc/xen/xendomains (since it's xen
related)... Which one do you prefer?

As for the way to do it I propose a dpatch file that changes the two files in
the upstream tarball that actually nominate the path... It's easy and it works,
but sure can be done in other ways, anything you would prefer?

Then we can go ahead splitting hypervisor and userspace... Preferences for the
naming? Shall we keep the hypervisor as "xen" and call the rest "xen-userspace"?
or "xen-hypervisor" and "xen-userspace" and have xen be a metapackage depending
on both, for the sake of compatibility with the past? (So we solve even the
"xen-system" metapackage proposed) Unfortunately the name "xen-tools" isn't
available, but I think it would have been the best for the userspace (as it's
how upstream calls it "make tools") but probably it's too late to get it anyway,
so... One of the previous or other proposals? ;)
