@scottalanmiller To be right too early can be a mistake too
You just can't invest resources without good reasons. -

You just can't invest resources without good reasons.That’s why I consider myself a futurist more than anything else.

Great work!

Good news, and quickly at that!
Question, is your build using the same versions of perl(5 year old release in XS7) and python(nearly 5 years old) as XS7.2?
Is the plan to use more modern versions of these eventually? -

That may come down the pipe based on what I read.

The short term goal is to have:
- the latest XS version with "XenServer" name replaced by XCP-ng
- removal of all feature restriction
- easy upgrade path from XS to XCP-ng
Mid-term goal:
- rely on RPM repo for all operations
- validate/authorize more vanilla packages to be used on Dom0 for more integrations within Xen and XAPI
Long-term goal:
- contribute directly to mainline (XAPI/drivers)
- re-unite XAPI into a mainline without license check
-
Seriously - this is fantastic stuff !!
-
The one thing that kept me from using XenServer at my current server provider is that I couldn't get XAPI to listen on custom ports.
PLEASE make that something easily done!
NB: I haven't used XenServer since 7.0.

Once there is an ISO I'd be happy to test, I'd be interesting in helping the upgrade process as well.

^^ Same, happy to test

Congratulations on the new endeavor!
-
There's now a Kickstarter campaign where we can pledge to support this project. I've already made my pledge. How about you?
-
@danp I have as well.
-
Tossed some dollars that way.
-
Already passed first goal.
-
It's over 9000!
Actually is over 15000 now -
Must be a lot of XS love out there.
Maybe I won't move to HyperV juuuuust yet!
