lindig/xs-shipyard repository overview

⁠XenServer Shipyard

This Docker⁠ configuration provides an environment for building XenServer packages. The build environment is based on CentOS and all packages and their dependencies are managed as RPM packages.

XenServer Shipyard is a fork of xenserver-build-env⁠. For work inside Citrix I recommend using planex-buildenv which also builds docker containers for building toolstack components.

This Docker configuration cannot be used to create binaries that are 100% compatible with official ones. Recent official builds of XenServer rely on a patched CentOS base image. This creates incompatibilities between binaries created with this Docker image and binaries created with official builds. This Docker configuration is still good for development.

⁠Building and Using the Container

The main use case is to create a container that provides all dependencies such that a given component can be built inside of it.

make dundee-bugfix/xenopsd

The above command constructs a container suitable to build the xenopsd⁠ component in the Dundee release:

$ cd src/xenopsd
$ docker run -i -t -v $PWD:/mnt lindig/xs-shipyard-xenopsd:dundee-bugfix
[builder@c6326320a1f2 ~]$ cd /mnt/
[builder@c6326320a1f2 mnt]$ ./configure
[builder@c6326320a1f2 mnt]$ make

The current directory with the source code of xenopsd is mounted under /mnt and then built inside the container.

⁠Releases

The following releases are available:

• ely-bugfix
