      @dClauzel since Debian has switched away from sysvinit we did not take the time to provide an init.d script, but if there is a need, we can include one. Feel free to open an issue (or, even better, a merge request 😉) on the project in Gitlab!

      Thanks for your feedback!

        @yann Thanks for the fast reply ❤

        Ok, I am opening a ticket, and providing a simple support script.

          Hello,

          I have a setup with routers (running Debian Bookworm) that need more interfaces than the maximum allowed number of vifs so the VM has one vif and VLAN untagging is done inside it.
          As no IPs were detected by the traditional xen tools, I switched to the new, Rust ones, but they fail to detect IPs too 😕

          I think it is caused by the lack of /sys/class/net/enX0.*/device/devtype files, despite a few enX0.* interfaces (and folders) and /sys/class/net/enX0/device/devtype (containing vif, as expected) exist.

          Should I create an issue directly in the Gitlab project, or comment the partially-related one for SR-IOV support?

                @kevdog @yann said in New Rust Xen guest tools:

                @kevdog great news, looking forward for this PKGBUILD!
                Wouldn't it make sense to build from release packages rather than from Git?

                The CI scripts should give you some guidance. For dependencies you should have a list at https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent#build-requirements. Not sure why you would want python-setuptools?

                Hey all, I put together PKGBUILD for Arch which pulls the latest git. It seems to be working fine for me. You'll need to install xen package on AUR.
                https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-guest-agent-git

                It's my first attempt at submitting something on AUR. I look forward to any feedback.
