72 Open vSwitch RPM because XenServer uses Python 2.4, which does
75 To install, build the Open vSwitch RPM with a command like this:
77 rpmbuild -D "openvswitch_version $full_version" \
78 -D "xen_version $XENKERNEL" \
79 -D "build_number --with-build-number=$buildnr" \
80 -bb openvswitch-xen.spec
82 Then, "rpm -U" the resulting Open vSwitch package on the XenServer hosts in
83 question and reboot them. (The openvswitch-dbg package that is also
84 produced need not be installed, but it is harmless to do so.)
