This is a mirror someone made and forgot to sync. So that is probably the reason vhd-util is still in there.

It was in the codebase in 2011 and removed in 2012 as we readied for the first ASF release. For a history, see: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;a=history;f=scripts/vm/hypervisor/xenserver/vhd-util;h=46d62dd44d9224b9b8c5c11f05bb789473ddc1a4;hb=HEAD Tuna: Please revert this commit. vhd-util is both a binary and licensed in a manner that makes it impossible from an ASF policy perspective to retain in our version control or ship in a release - both of which are problematic. --David
RE: vhd-util on git
I was in Cambridge before the ccceu13 and worked with the XS team on this. They're working on a patch release to 6.2 that will include everything we need in vhd-util, which will remove this dependency. It's expected end of Jan/start of feb. Unfortunately, it's too big an effort for them to backport it to all previous releases but at least going forward, we will be rid of this problem. --Alex > -Original Message- > From: David Nalley [mailto:da...@gnsa.us] > Sent: Friday, January 3, 2014 12:26 PM > To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org; Nguyen Anh Tu > Subject: Re: vhd-util on git > > On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 2:46 PM, Amogh Vasekar > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I encountered a conflict while pulling in a branch, and noticed > > vhd-util in the CS code base : > > > https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/scripts/vm/hypervisor > > /xens > > erver/vhd-util > > > > Wasn't there a licensing issue with vhd-util being in the code base? > > > > Thanks, > > Amogh > > > > There is indeed a licensing issue.

Re: vhd-util on git
Opps... I thought I removed vhd-util from the commit. Will do in next monday, David. I'm travelling and the internet connection is terrible here.
