Description:   Opened: 2005-11-13 06:08 0000 
Gern Knorr says "As followup to the Linux-Kongress tutorials I've started to
polish my tiny domain installer scripts a bit and ended up creating a new package
containing a number of shell scripts for domU installations.  The name is "domi"
and you can grab a copy here:

  tarball: http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/
  suse rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kraxel/10.0-i386/i586/

Tested on: suse 10.0 + xen unstable.
Distros it can install: suse, fedora, debian, gentoo."

Look suitable as a generic domain builder for xen, need ebuild, update xen-wiki.

A /etc/domi.conf

Here is a /etc/domi.conf attached.

You need this conf if you want to use the nifty domi scripts.
I created this conf from the domi.man file.

The working way is:

You configurate the /etc/domi.conf and you will start the session with the
command "/path/to/my/domi/./domi".
At the first time all necessary fils will downloaded.

First Time gentoo:
real    70m11.944s
user    1m30.594s
sys     0m41.527s

Second Time gentoo: (all files are in /var/cache/domi)
real    3m29.457s
user    0m56.228s
sys     0m27.064s


Time for a debian first installation:
real    13m38.765s
user    0m28.718s
sys     0m20.097s

If you starting a second time it takes only 5 minutes or less to create a new
guest.
real    5m13.531s
user    1m30.090s
sys     0m38.854s

Unfortunately RedHat and SuSe do not work because they need yum and yast2 in
Dom0.

But gentoo and debian works very well.

Many thanks to Mr. Knoor!

If you submit an ebuild to go along with that config we can see about adding it
to Gentoo ;-)

Ebuild for domi - xen domain install scripts

My first ebuild submission.  Please note, this ebuild does not contain the
suggested /etc/domi.conf file.

Thanks for the ebuild! Some tips:

Please remove the skeleton comments in future
DEPEND line has to have fully qualified package names (ie. with category as
well)
src_compile is not necessary - the inherited one does exactly what yours did.
Everything else okay.

I've added the ebuild to portage cvs, it should hit the mirrors soon. Maybe you
could update the wiki with some notes on using domi?
