Re: [Xen-devel] Change in xm interface
Ewan Mellor wrote:
Your concern is perfectly reasonable. On that note though, could I
emphasise
a) Screen-scraping xm is a bad idea. There is an interface straight
into xend that one can use for integration (the same interface that xm
uses). This will avoid such hackery, and make it an awful lot easier
to maintain backwards compatibility. xm is for humans to use, not
tools.
I agree with you completely and will take the time to point out that
libvirt uses the S-Expression/HTTP interface so you can just use that :-)
b) There is no guarantee that any interface inside domain 0, be it
to the tools, or even to Xen, are fixed. The only interfaces that are fixed
at the moment are the interfaces used by guests. Everything else is
subject to change at any time. Of course, it's in everyone's
interests that these interfaces become fixed in the future, but
there's plenty of work that has to go into them yet before we could
claim that they are supportable in the long term.
Yup.
That list is xen-devel, for the moment. I'm not sure there's any value
in having a separate list -- anyone who's developing products that sit
on top of Xen _really_ needs to be reading xen-devel anyway -- the
project simply isn't mature enough for you to get away without doing
that.
Ok. Always good to reiterate this occasionally :-)
