=== Past Meetings ===

==== Wednesday 8th May 2013 ====

* Status reports:
** mcclurmc: No update
** johnthetubaguy: No update
** Azrael: No update
** djs55: I've got xapi talking to libvirt and to libxl via a specially modified xenopsd. I've also got a xapi storage API to libvirt adapter, and I'm able to run VMs on ceph now. Frediano is busy backporting some libxl and libvirt stability fixes recommended by Stefano.
*** johnthetubaguy recommends his xcp dev install scripts: https://github.com/johngarbutt/xcp-devinstall
** djs55: only problems are: (1) missing stability fixes [ but I think frediano is making progress ]; (2) a few minor tweaks still being discussed upstream; and (3) I needed to turn ceph support on (hard-coded off in the SRPM)
** Azrael: i have been afk for a bit, but i will be back to first attempts at packaging stuff in opam-repo-dev/tree/master/packages tomorrow
** johnthetubaguy: Maybe look at OPAM first?
** djs55: opam-repo-dev stuff could just be a build dependency
** z00dax and djs55 to talk about packaging options

==== Tuesday 30th April 2013 ====

* Progress building XAPI:
** mcclurmc to try johnthetubaguy scripts next week
** libvirt + XenAPI work to be discussed next week

** hugesjr: latest 0.10.2.4 from fedora libvirt built, still broken, but less broken, can find it here: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/libvirt-c6xen/

==== Tuesday 26th March 2013 ====
* Progress building XAPI:
** new OCAML 4.00.1 rpms look good
