Hi everyone, I have just submitted a package review request for xen-tools (http://www.xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/) here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980851 From the same website, you can easily reach other Xen related tools, like xen-shell, and also rinse, which I plan to be packaging too. See here a (old) blog post of mine about how to use xen-tools on Fedora as of now (i.e., without it being packaged): http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2013/01/24/using-xen-tools-on-fedora/ This is my first submission so I'm sending this e-mail for both introducing myself and looking for a sponsor. :-) So, I'm Dario (dariof on FAS), I work for Citrix on the Xen Hypervisor in the 'Open Source Team' (yeah, 100% only OSS stuff, kind of cool! :-P). I've been there for about one year and a half now, and I'm working on improving Xen NUMA support. For that same purpose, I just started recently to contribute to libvirt, implementing some of the missing bits of the NUMA interface for the libvirt libxl driver (one of the Xen libvirt backends). As I use Fedora for both work and leisure, I'm also the one that maintains Fedora related information on our Wiki (see http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Fedora) and I try to keep an eye on how, in general, Xen works on Fedora (together with Konrad from Oracle). In the Xen dev and user community, we use xen-tools a lot (for instance, it is part of our automated testing infrastructure). That's basically why I'd like Fedora to ship it natively (and I'm of course stepping up for maintainership): I really believe this could improve both Xen users and developers experience, help both testing and real workloads and, in general, bring the two communities closer. Some more stuff, I live in central Italy (I work from home), I did my Ph.D on Real-Time Systems in Pisa --during which I did Linux kernel stuff, http://lwn.net/Articles/412745/). I've been on Linux since beginning of the university, back in 2000, and on Fedora since F15 (yeah, that is not so long ago... sorry! :-P). I _love_ Fedora because it gives me bleeding edge software, but still in a comfortable and stable environment... I was on Debian before, with experimental repos enabled, and a broken X server (among other things) at least once a week! :-D I've got a wife, Luana, an almost 3 years old daughter, Lara, and three cats: Byte, Mega and Slash. Looking forward to hearing from you.
