[xen-tools-dev] [PATCH] Use dom0 resolv.conf when chrooting

[Stéphane Jourdois]

Hi,
Yes, this one is not trivial as it changes the way xen-tools works.
I think that xen-tools should not modify the installed guest without request from the user, and roles are there to do such modifications...
I'll provide a role.d file to this effect.
Thx for comments and merge :)

This also removes the general copying of /etc/resolv.conf to the DomU.
Not sure if that breaks some setups. But the feature is a good one, so
I merged it. We may have to add an option for just copying
/etc/resolv.conf from the DomU. It may comtain some other options like
search domain, etc., too.

		Kind regards, Axel
