Zdenek - I'd be very happy to have a Slackware port of netcf, and would be willing to help out getting it in (as long as you'd be willing to help me setup a Slackware guest so I could test your patches ;-) There have been 4 other people who started netcf ports (debian, arch linux, suse, and (believe it or not, MS Windows)), but so far none has followed through to actually pushing something into the main netcf git.
just wait a second; did you actually say "patches"? :) What is the original platform/distro of NetCF? It shouldn't matter if they've pushed changes or not as long as those are public somewhere. Anyway, I gave it # ./configure; go and found out 'augeas', whatever that is, is "missing". And I expect more to come. I can give it look over the weekend(no, I don't expect it to be done over the weekend - look :]). Slackware guest shouldn't be a problem. It's just like any other GNU/Linux. Setup partition, run setup, key stroke, key stroke, Install everything? [Yes], done :D j/k [...]
The first step would be to subscribe to the netcf-devel mailing list:
Done.
I can help you out figuring out which bits need replacing for a different platform (although I'm afraid I probably can't be much help with what they should be replaced with :-)
Sounds great. I probably should note I'm more like # ./configure && make && ... && makepkg; and some hack-n-slash person. It doesn't mean anything else than just making things clear(so much for expectations) :)
If there are any requirements for package on what libvirt should have support for, let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.
Meant really like build options eg. must have netcf/iSCSI/... support.
Speaking of that, I don't know if you noticed, but support for IPv6 virtual networks was added in this release. However, in order for it to all work properly, you need to have the following binaries installed on the build machine (autoconfigure finds them and etches their paths into the libvirtd binary):
No, I haven't. I pay very little attention to an IPv6, because of many things and many excuses(it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to). So it's likely - no.
command package ------- ------- ip (iproute) check ip6tables (iptables-ipv6) check radvd (radvd) fail ... what the hell is that? :) Rhetorical question, I can find out by myself ;)
and of course a couple that were already required:
iptables (iptables) check dnsmasq (dnsmasq) check
I know about these two already(I made post regarding dnsmasq some time ago) :) Have a nice day, Zdenek - -- Zdenek Styblik Net/Linux admin OS TurnovFree.net email: stybla@turnovfree.net jabber: stybla@jabber.turnovfree.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0mEhEACgkQ8MreUbSH7inj1gCgoxrjZ6gNZxy9yFPF7PXWy9HJ 56IAoI7h9pV2FGfjVZ0uA6UEFgjJYgeQ =FhNI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
