Answer is yes for both, and work already started and going in the right direction

@yann said in New Rust Xen guest tools:

@forbiddenera FreeBSD support is already there, and binaries are available since v0.3.0 release.

Awesome! Maybe I'll have to take a peek.

Windows support is also coming, but requires more work than FreeBSD did, you can follow the status of the first meaningful step (communicating collected info back to host) here. Right now a few other tasks take precedence, expect things to move forward again within a few weeks.

TBH; I personally don't care much about Windows but figured I might as well ask while asking about FreeBSD

Are FreeBSD guests at all a consideration for new guest tools? Windows?

Started up an Ubuntu 22.04 server VM and discovered that xe-guest-utilities was not part of the 22.04 repository. What package should I use for guest code

I was just able to install them fine on 22.04.3 LTS; perhaps they've been added back?

Though it's showing Management Agent not Installed, it does show the OS and memory usage now and lets me shutdown/reboot without forcing.
