Assuming no problems are revealed by testing, I'd like to make this the proper 3.1.3 release asap. I did some very basic testing of bits based upon 3.1.3rc3 and discovered nothing new that's broken, so seems good from my part regards john ___ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel
[XenPPC] Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] architecture-specific stuff in xend

I think I think it makes sense to use a parallel scheme of xen/xend/host/ for those parameters. That is, the way you've done this looks good to me. tools/python/xen/util/Brctl.py, wouldn't it make more sense to replace that file entirely depending on the host OS? Yes. As it is, it's only used for the vnet stuff, which only exists on Linux, so it's not a super-big problem right now. thanks john ___ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel

Does that impact code under tools/python/xen much? Very little, but it does affect the location of the network scripts, for example. Presumably you could do the instance() singleton trick? Not sure what you mean. See XendRoot.py's instance(). Actually, you bring up a good point: since we have no state (at least not in the examples I'm thinking of), we really don't want/need a class; a module would do just fine. So we could have separate files/modules with just plain functions: platform/ia64.py: def init_reservation(mem_kb): return something platform/platform.py: import xen.xend.platform.ia64 as platform We'd still need something to import the right bits... regards john ___ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel
