One issue with this is that during normal Xen development I often make an RPM directly from the upstream repo, so while I have the xen4centos kernel & libvirt installed, I don't have a xen4centos xen installed. The nice thing about the current script in centos-release-xen is that it works with non-x4c xen packages. Sorry I hadn't thought about that side-effect when you mentioned this before. :-/ Any thoughts? Would it be possible to have the script in centos-release-xen and check for the existence of /boot/xen.gz, for instance? -George _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
