hi,

is x2d2 (the minimal xend replacement in C if I understand correctly) still alive? I do not have bk at the moment, but grepping on x2d2 in the Changelog file only has a comment back from November. I can make it compile by removing -Werror from the Makefile, but is anyone using it and working on it, or is it a dead end?


I don't think so. It shouldn't actually work anymore. It doesn't do proper notifications on event channels. There's also a bug in the way ports are allocated.

Is there still interest in x2d2 (or any C-based minimal xend)? I think I could fix x2d2 pretty easily.


Yes, lots of interest from me, the python xend effectively keeps me from running Xen 2.0, so I am still stuck with 1.3. The stock xend uses too much memory, provides too much functionality, and depends on too many third-party packages -- not the ideal specs for the minimal trusted computing base I am trying to develop :-(
