Needs Rewrite
This document is somewhat out-of-date. It would benefit from updated links, Trails to get started for different projects (maybe in subpages) and a common section. |
Xen Developers Information
This wiki page is for developers interested in writing software, testing builds, or documenting the various Xen products (projects).
Xen Hypervisor Project
How Xen Development takes place
The primary place to go to ask development questions, submit patches, and find out about the forthcoming roadmap, is the xen-devel mailing list.
There is also some more specific information:
- SubmittingXenPatches - process to submit a patch to the latest Xen unstable branch
- XenRepositories - list of Xen related sourcecode repositories and changelogs of the trees, including kernels.
- AskingXenDevelQuestions - how best to ask a question on xen-devel
- XenDevelopmentProjects - list of Xen related projects for (new) developers to work on!
- http://lists.xensource.com/xen-changelog - The Xen changelog lists receive copies of commits made to the Xen hypervisor source tree
Technical information
- XenSerialConsole - We recommend configuring Xen and your dom0 to log to a serial port and capturing the output eg with a serial concentrator
- XenTerminology
- XenDebugging
- XenParavirtOpsHelp - how to report bugs in the Linux kernel when used with Xen
Latest Release and Features
- XenLinuxPVonHVMdrivers - using optimized PV-on-HVM drivers with Xen HVM guests running (unmodified) Linux kernels
- blktap - toolkit provides a user-level disk I/O interface (pre Xen 4.0 information)
- blktap2 - toolkit provides a user-level disk I/O interface (post Xen 4.0 information)
- VTdHowTo - give a domU exclusive access to a PCI function using the IOMMU provided by VT-d
- xenpm - power management design/features of Xen
- Remus - Fault Tolerance for Xen, Transparent High Availability for VMs.
