[xen-tools-discuss] xen-tools 4.3.1 released

[Yuvraj Agarwal]

Hi,

I was able to install the latest 4.3.1 release on a Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit)
dom0. I'll check and make sure everything works and report back if it does
not. One question. Was there a plan to release a pygrub role at any point
(in /etc/xen-tools/role.d/) as part of the regular xen-tools package? The
pygrub role is to install one of the linux-virtual or ec2 based kernels in
a domU/guest VM rather than use the dom0 kernels themselves. Information
about it is in the following links:

[1] http://wejn.org/stuff/how-to-boot-via-pygrub-on-lenny.html  (older
link, for Lenny, and uses Xen 3.2.1, but is the source for the original
pygrub role)
[2] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481308 (Updated to 10.04)

thanks!
