Hi all,
"rpm -qlp xen-4.2.1-5.fc18.x86_64.rpm" yields quite a surprise.
There is no trace of xl. The package still includes xm which requires xend, both of which have been deprecated since (I think) xen 4.0.0. Granted, I built, rather than yummed, 4.0.0 from sources and have been using xl ever since but the continued distribution of xm confuses me greatly.
Two questions:
Does anybody know why this was done? Is there a package that includes xl?
This is extremely frustrating. I've been waiting years for a mainline kernel that includes Dom0/DomU and PCI-passthrough support and now that it is available I still have to build xen from scratch to get the new xl tool stack that was introduced many versions ago.
Thanks for any insight, tips. Mike Wright

If you install it, it will pull in other packages including xen-runtime, which does include xl.
