[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#682122: xcp-xapi: README.Debian has a few misleading commands

[Ian Campbell]

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-9
Severity: normal

Hi guys,

Just a couple of things I noticed running
through /usr/share/doc/xcp-xapi/README.Debian.gz as referenced by
http://wiki.debian.org/XCP

In "4/ Configuring Xen and XCP":
  sed -i "s/TOOLSTACK=/TOOLSTACK=xapi/" /etc/default/xen
should be
  sed -i "s/TOOLSTACK=.*/TOOLSTACK=xapi/" /etc/default/xen

Otherwise you might end up with TOOLSTACK=xapixm

In "4.2/ Configure network to use a bridge xenbr0":
  PIF_UUID=`xe pif-list device=eth0`
should be
  PIF_UUID=`xe pif-list device=eth0 --minimal`
(this is wrong twice in the same section)
Otherwise:
  # echo $PIF_UUID
  uuid ( RO) : 9ff5d3b4-e4fd-ef03-fc25-29ad1adfaa42 device ( RO): eth0 currently-attached ( RO): true VLAN ( RO): -1 network-uuid ( RO): 8c7020a9-411d-d788-8dea-3dcd3932dad6
which doesn't work when you use PIF_UUID with other commands

In "4.3/ Set Xen as default in GRUB" the recommended way would be to use
dpkg-divert e.g.
  dpkg-divert --divert /etc/grub.d/08_linux_xen --rename /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
(taken from wiki.debian.org/Xen)
